The room was so warm and comforting after a cold day out, toilet was new and clean but do take note that hot water runs out after awhile, alright for short baths. We didn't have much time to explore the area but we're sure Lake Hawea is a great location to get to popular spots! We felt really welcomed during our stay and had a great time meeting the hosts and their adorable dog Manuka :-) Would recommend to anyone seeking a cozy place within the vicinity.
