Pam's place was a very warm and cosy studio even in very cold weather, and Pam was lovely to deal with. It is nestled in a very peaceful and beautiful location. You can oversee the beautiful Lake Manapouri and the nearby mountains by standing on the small hill just opposite the studio. It is very clean and well-maintained. Just one drawback for us was that it is quite small for a group of four, especially if doing much cooking, as the kitchen, living, and one of the two sleeping areas are all in the same space (and that space is quite minimal).
