If you'd like to see real NZ that's the place you need to stay at. The place itself is a true gem. It's clean, very comfy and super quiet. A 10 min walk to the lake filled with wild black swans. The nature out there is sooo amazing. The hosts... don't know where to start with all the hospitality... Super accommodating and understanding. Very nice and helpful. The hot tub was all I needed after the crossing. I wasn't expecting that much but it turned out the best place I stayed at in the entire NZ and I travelled quite a bit.
