Our favorite accommodation so far out of 3 weeks of New Zealand Travel. A lovely spot, quiet, surrounded by beautiful scenery – mountains and lake views from all the windows. The unit was clean and comfortable, new, modern design. The heating was great! There is a deck with a table and chairs where you can enjoy the views. We loved having a full size well stocked kitchen with modern retro style appliances to cook our meals, and a living/ dining room to relax and work in. The internet worked well. Mel and her family are warm and welcoming, and helpful if needed. Mel lent me a casserole dish for cooking; she knows a lot about the area, the excursions, and things to do. We stayed 3 nights and wished we had more time to stay.
