Tessa's place was better than the photos! And being so close to the lake, the kids could wander down the very quiet street and swim.
The beds were super comfy, everything was clean as a whistle, and the ease of the pin number for the front door made it easy to get in, and to just walk out the door.
A short 2 minute drive to the shopping centre and spectacular views of the mountains when you step outside (you cant see the lake from inside, but its very close).
Ill definitely recommend this place to Aussie friends travelling in NZ, especially those with kids as its spacious enough for everyone to have their own space.
