The Brown House is all timber and v stylish, and Lake Ohau is really stunning. There is a really great deck out the back with a big lawn and you can enjoy a nice drink or dinner as the sun goes down over the hills. The house is well equipped with everything you need, plus a few cooking staples. The local community water supply is bore water and you need to boil water for drinking, but it is not a problem if you're organised and there's a big jug of pre-boiled water waiting for you in the fridge. The beds were really comfortable, and the house has a great large separate shower room and a bath! Janet is a great communicator and responded to our last minute booking very promptly. Highly recommended.
