Wow! This was a true highlight of our visit to NZ. The story of award-winning architect Fred Stevens building this with passion and skill over 30 years is so impressive, and the results are amazing. Truly one of a kind. Incredible architecture; thoughtful down to every detail. Truly a paradise, with stunning view. Hosts Fred and Lamees are lovely people, and gave us a very personal and genuine welcome. I took advantage of the short walk to the lake for a brisk morning swim. Although it's a small space, it's laid out efficiently, and we were very cozy and comfortable. I quote my wife: a gem not to be missed.
