The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Plenty of dvds for the kids. The upstairs living area was very nice. Just be sure you close the windows. We had bugs everywhere because all the windows were opened when we showed up. This place is not walking distance to the restaurants or lake. The park next to the restaurants was my kids fravorite park in New Zealand. It has the best zip line! This house is right next to a school and was loud. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels.
