This was such a great place for a family getaway. It was private, quiet, beautiful and had such great rustic charm. Being right on the lake means you're awoken by the sound of water lapping at the small beach. There are swans pottering around all day. The outdoor woodfire baths are so fun and easy to use - beautiful for the day and for night time stargazing. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. The TV was large and good quality.
They also had 3 mountain bikes for us to use which in my opinion were very capable of tackling up to grade 3 trails in Whakarewarewa forest so perfect for beginner mountain bikers!
