So many adjectives come to mind about Karmalure, but brilliant probably encompasses it all. Mark and Rebecca are very welcoming and the apartment/small house is exactly as shown, though the view is much better than pictures can show. You look out over the lake towards the mountains, which for our stay were snow covered. Kitchen was well fitted, with everything you needed, very comfortable bed with excellent blankets, good shower and water pressure. Heat pump kept the whole place warm and you had a great deck to sit outside when sun came out. We didn’t use the free bikes on offer, but did walk into Queenstown along the walking track by the lake - about 6.5km, but a lovely walk, with so many photo opportunities. We caught the water taxi back, which was $5 each and gave you a different view of the lake. Off street parking was a bonus and you were five minutes by car to the Remarkables Shopping centre which had a New World. We have lots of friends who travel to NZ and will certainly be recommending Karmalure to them. Thanks Mark and Rebecca for a wonderful stay.
