Absolutely amazing spot!!
My wife, two young kids and I had a great time!
Things to know….
* Robert is great, nearby and friendly
*The lake is swimmable, a little cool, but great fun. Kids and adults can dive off the jetty pretty easily - about chest deep on our 9yo.
* Kids loved pottering in the shallow areas of the lake - water shoes would be helpful.
* Paddle board was great fun to explore the lake (no life jackets, so bring with you if you have)
* There’s a great 20min walk from the house (with kids) to the Rakaia River. Again the water shoes would be helpful to cross a couple of ‘streams’ to get closer to the river.
* Each room / TV (4) had SkyTV with Sports and Movie channels
* Playground isn’t by the house anymore (as pictured) but still next to the house and all good to use.
* Heaps of DVDs, books and a few board games
Points to consider….
* Sitting on the deck after sunset is amazing - just need the bug spray for the sand flys
* No phone reception for Spark, but all good for Vodafone (WI-FI is all good)
* Access road is a bit rough due to recent slips but currently being tidied up by Robert and the team
Sorry for the massive review team but thought the above would be helpful for visiting guests to this awesome place!! We loved it!
