We spent three nights here and exjoyed it very much. The children (aged 12, 10 and 7) loved the air hockey, table tennis and foosball, as well as board games and running around in the garden (when it wasnt raining!). We took the double kayak for a paddle but had to carry it down the hill (needs 2 adults) as the strap on wheels were flat and wouldnt stay on - no big deal but something to be aware of (in hindsight we could have tried the wheels from the other two kayaks but didnt want to muck around too much!). The hot tub is great but does take a long time, and a lot of firewood, to heat up initially - once its warm it just needs a boost every now and then to keep it warm. After filling the hot tub the water stopped completely - no big deal once you realise its controlled by a pump in the garage & just needs restarting by pushing a button. The fireplace is great, best to load it up gradually as it can make the room very warm! The veiw is amazing, can never get tired of it and took many great photographs of Mt. Tarawerah from the kitchen and deck. While staying there we highly recommend contacting Totally Tarawerah who operate the local water taxi, and taking the guided tour of the hot pool and beach, one of the highlights of our stay!
