This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had! We were blown away by the spectacular scenery, with sitting by the firepit eating our dinner as the sun went down over our own private lake - pure magic, and very rare to find something so unique. We loved talking walks around the extensive native bush on the property that had lovely easy to follow trails, beside the river and around the lake, feeding the eels on the way. To top it off, Wendy's hospitality was next level. Everything we needed was also provided in the kitchen, including thoughtful extra touches like marshmallows to roast on the fire, etc. The surrounding area was a delight to explore, with swimming in Lake Kaniere, waterfalls, and Hokitika gorge just stunning. This was probably the best value for money place we've ever stayed at! Highly recommend :)
