We came up to Lake Karapiro for the Waka ama Nationals. The house was in the perfect spot for it! About a 2 min drive to the Don Rowlands Centre and about a 20 min walk. A great base.
The house itself is huge, clean and beautiful - the view is unbeatable and you could watch the races from the deck!
Definitely recommend staying there. We had such a great time - and made good use of the spa pool, too! Trudi is awesome to deal with and the communication was great.
