We spent 3 nights in early May. The view is the real deal- beautiful. Every morning we would take coffee on the front porch and look down to the lake. The first night as clear so I did some sky watching and despite a bright moon I could clearly see the edge of the Milky Way. Like a cloud of stars.
It's a quiet place, about 15 min from Wanaka, and was great for my family of 5 adults and 2 small children. A note if you have small kids: the wood heater in the living room gets hot. It is a hazard. To prevent any issues, we rearranged the couches to create a safe play area. This worked fine. Also Rebecca has a lot of toys for kids, plus cartoons on sky tv.
