This place is stunning and our 3-night stay was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to NZ. Perfect location and easy to find, while the house itself is beautiful inside and out. Every room has a wow factor and there was plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 children. Bring your own food if you want to cook - we didn't and the local stores don't have much, even fruit and veg. But it wasn't a problem as the local eateries suited us well, especially the hotel. Do the Dart River jet boat trip if you can - it is amazing. And take a drive up around the lake to Kinloch where there's a lovely hotel for posh nosh. High Country Horses were excellent too. What a special place - we hope to return.
