Very good location in Lake Karapiro. It was close enough to Hobbiton and Waitomo to be a nice base for a couple of days. Cambridge is the next town over and we were very surprised by the great restaurants we ate at.
Simon’s place is clean and comfortable. Our only hiccup was that it was cold and rainy when we visited so it was very cold in the house. There is a heater/ac unit in the living room but it only warms up that main area. There are also heated blankets supplied in each of the beds.
Simon was prompt with his responses when we had a question. Thanks for having us.
