Cool, clean house with unique decor! Definitely an older home, but the furnishings were comfortable and the bathroom (although in the basement) has been updated. We enjoyed playing cards or reading while occasionally looking out at the mountain and lake views. This is also the only place we stayed in NZ that had screens on some of the windows, which is helpful for the sandflies. My friends also really enjoyed it and my fishing buddy especially liked the decor. Also as close as you can get to Pearl Harbour which is where a lot of the tours meet. We even had a neighbor cat come up on the porch for a visit. Would recommend to others and we would stay again!
