Whow! Where to start ... this has to be the most spectacular location surrounded by a picturesque lake and nature, yet only minutes from the beach. We were greeted by a fresh, stylish decor and lovely open planned kitchen, dining room and lounge layout with a sunroom entrance. The apartment was soaked in sun throughout the day; lovely big well appointed bedroom and ensuite with modern tiled shower and excellent water pressure. A monitor/screen has been set up on one wall showing a camera shot of the entire lake which was a lovely unexpected surprise ... watching the beautiful sunrises with Mt Taranaki in the background made for lovely viewing. All the little finishing touches and impeccable cleaning standard made this a standout Air bnb ... and both Katrina and Richard's (the hosts) warm and friendly natures made us feel immediately welcome and at home. We could not recommend this beautiful apartment more highly and know anyone would be well pleased they had chosen to book this gorgeous piece of Opunake Paradise. A hidden treasure, yet only minutes from the local township. Would book/stay again in a heart beat!
