John and Jasper's home is wonderful. We had such a warm and welcoming reception at Pukeko palace. From the outside the space looks tiny, but it is actually quite deceptive and due to the layout (bed upstairs) we had more space for our 2 huge suitcases than we have had in other accommodation. My partner is 6' 3" and other than having to duck when he came down the stairs (not unusual) we had plenty of room. The facilities were really good and clean. John offered us their kayaks and bikes to use and happily shared his local knowledge. The area feels so safe and has beautiful lake and mountain views. The house is only a 10 minute direct walk to the centre of town or 20 minutes along the scenic lake route. The town has lots of restaurants and a few shops. Great hosts and perfect location for us - would definitely recommend.
