Lye bow is a beautiful spot with gardens to wander around, heaps of birdsong (including bellbirds & fantails) & a cute dock on the lake. Very peaceful place. Great access to walking to the dam or up to flat top hill conservation area. Very spacious & modern place with everything you need. Great to have a fireplace, comfy beds, big kitchen for cooking, heaps of bedding choice. Duke the dog visited us - very lovely, calm quiet dog who loved pats! No one was in the adjoining apartment so we had the place/grounds to ourselves. Audrey was very responsive to our queries & made sure we had everything we needed. Not far to Alex or Clyde for meals & shopping. Best place for swimming/picnics in Manuherikia river - down Galloway Road. Would stay again definitely.
