A warm fire crackling away greeted me on arrival. What a special location with some heartfelt touches provided. Stunning views, beautiful Tui birdsong in the trees, sleeping under the skies while feeling so cosy and warm. Sparkling clean with all the amenities needed including great books and DVDs. A lovely lakeside run followed by mid-winter swim from the private jetty looking out to the majestic Mount Tarawera awakened my soul. I'll be back!
