    Great little Bach with everything we needed. A great time was had by all. Lots to do around the area and strolling around the streets, paths and down to the beaches was cool.

    Great location and property for the family and particularly well set up for young kids. The pad had everything we needed. Close as to the lake which was ideal. Thanks heaps Nicole.

    Quintessential kiwi bach in an amazing location. So much to see and do, especially if you have a boat! We were really lucky to have the owners staying in the bach next door so got all the local knowledge on what to see and do, including some spots to catch fish. Very much recommended!

    The little place is nicely set up and cosy. The close proximity to the reserve and access to little lake side walks was great for the kids. Handle on the fireplace needs a bit of attention, but apart from that we were very happy.

    The house was cosy, comfortable, clean, dog-friendly, fully fenced. Field next to the house great for running the dog, the house is very close to the lake with easy boat access. Lots of toys and kids dvd's.
