Kowhai Retreat was a sparkling clean and recently renovated space in an easy drive to town and easy walk down to the lake. Lockbox check-in went smoothly, chocolates on the pillows, Sacred Grounds filter coffee and bottled water in the fridge were thoughtful touches. The bed was comfortable and the area was quiet, no noisy traffic, so good for sleeping. Communciation was prompt and professional. Recommended and would stay again.
