This house is all about THE VIEW!!! It’s hard to describe how simply stunning it is. Although the house is close to neighbors, the balcony is completely private.. There is glass everywhere so you catch glimpses of mountains, water, sky and city lights from almost every room. We never took the views for granted. We were vacationing with another couple and it was so nice that we both had our private spaces, one upstairs and one downstairs. We also appreciated having a personal orientation to the space with Julia who walked us through the whole house, allowing us to ask questions. This is a generous host! The kitchen was well-stocked, there were supplies throughout the house, including detergent, coffee, milk and there were empty spaces to unpack in the closet and drawers. The house is close to town but it is quite an uphill climb coming back home....about 15-20 minutes from the downtown lake area. That being said, we did it three times during our 4 day stay and decided it was good exercise.
We were so happy to end our 2 week vacation in New Zealand with our stay at this house. It was peaceful, comfortable and was so very memorable!
