Byrony and Steve were the perfect hosts for our 2night stay at Fantial Loft. When we were lost in the rain (no fault to their directions) they promptly responded to us to help us find our way. We were new to driving a campervan and as we approached the area and saw all the very steep driveways—we were relieved to find this property had an easy and gentle approach. We were delighted with the Lake Tawarera views and the comfortable and pristine accommodations. We wish we could have stayed longer to kayak and enjoy the incredible beauty of this area. If you are seeking quiet, views and lovely bird songs—this is a wonderful retreat!
