For the most part this is a great place to stay.
The kitchen is really well appointed (including rice cooker, electric wok, nespresso machine, and more!), and the living room set up is great - huge TV w/ Netflix and fireplace. It's in an ideal location in Turangi, within walking distance of lots of local shops, the pool, playgrounds, cafes.
I struggle though to describe it as "cozy" - as several other reviews mention this. I found myself paying a lot of attention to the fireplace to keep the house warm, along with strategically placed electric heaters. It can be very cold in the morning... bring slippers!
Worth noting though that we stayed during a cold period of weather in July.
