Donna's cottage is set on a beautiful lifestyle block in the middle of supremely tranquil area.
The lake is a 2 minute drive away (or 10 minute bike ride), and is perfect for swimming, kayaking, etc.
The Central Otago Rail Trail is just at the end of the driveway if you feel like a peaceful bike ride, and there is huge network of trails up into the hills if you're feeling more adventurous.
Donna was super fast to respond to any query we had, but we were otherwise left in peace to relax in the beautiful setting.
We had an absolute blast exploring the area, and are already planning a return trip next year :)
