It’s a pity that we only stayed one night. We didn’t use all the facilities available to us. Good quiet location and on a clear night, we might have been able to see the milky way from the back of the property. Only downside was that there was no laundry facilities available for the apartment. That’s not really a major point as we normally hand wash with a Scrubba bag anyway.

Excellent place to stay, easy walk into town. Exactly what we needed and was a great welcome when we arrived. The bath and kitchen etc are all modern and was private too. The only negative I would say is some of the decor which made me feel like I was staying at my Nanas… e.g. the doilies :) I must get me some of the wood ring cushions!! Otherwise exceptional and will definitely be staying again. Thanks team!

What a lovely little find! The property exceeded our expectations with a lovely big bath and also an awesome fireplace which connected the living room and the bedroom so was great in the cold nights. The property was close to the shops and the thermal baths and the kitchen was great. Ivan was very friendly on greeting us and we had a lovely stay.

Really clean and well-equipped accommodation. The high-tech fire place was a really nice touch. Location was close (less than 5 mins drive) to downtown eateries and Church of Good Shepherd. Host was really friendly too!

We spent two nights at the property as part of our week long honeymoon trip to NZ. This property was recommended by a local expert and boy, did we make the right choice! The bedroom apartment was very cozy with a spectacular view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. It was truly jaw dropping when our kind host showed us around the rooms for our check-in. The staff were incredibly responsive and fast in answering any questions before our pre-arrival experience. The location was dark enough for us to enjoy the stars and see the Milky Way from the wood deck. A truly magical experience. Thank you so much!
