Could have been a little bit cleaner, few hairs in bath and on floor. Great access to lake. Just could use some nicer pillows on bed. Thank you for the easy stay!

Lovely location the property needs work

No water pressure at all with hot or cold water. The toilet worked occasionally The BBQ was quite unsafe, it wouldn’t light with ignition switch & three burners shot out gas rather than lighting. Other cooking options were a plug in hot plate or electric fry pan, which surprised me some what. We couldn’t get the TV to work at all, but someone did come an fix that the following day.

Great value for money

The photos don't do it justice! Very peaceful, beautiful spot on the lake with swans trundling along the bank. Great for a weekend getaway. The studio is very spacious. There is a hotplate and electric frypan available and if you ask in advance, a BBQ can be provided as well. The only thing to mention was a few little cleanliness issues in regards to washing machine and microwave. Other than that I would love to return- fabulous spot!

Beautiful view

Great location away from the town centre, and close to Ngongotaha village. Very quiet and peaceful. Lodge had everything we needed. Shower/ spa bath is awkward for elderly people to get in and out of (just to be aware). Beautiful sunrises and view.

Good stuff: Beautiful view of the lake, semi private location, good facilities, Wi-Fi, AC unit, well-priced, and close to shops. Good communication and support from owners. Not so good stuff: TV but no service / Sky, hot plate rather than a stove, large bathroom but tiles were cold underfoot & shower pressure could have been better. Also, access to basic cleaning products and a vacuum would have been handy as we stayed for a whole week. But we adapted and overall, we were happy with the property and appreciated the opportunity to stay there, thanks 🙏

Pleasing

This lodge is very spacious and is exactly what it looks like as advertised. Our overall stay was very pleasing however the only down side was that we could not find the remote for the heat pump which lead to a couple of cold nights.

Some dodgy things happened. Chain came off in toilet and the water kept running. This had to be fixed by us.

The property is close to the lake so it gets humid, the house has lot of bushes and there are a lot of bugs because of the vegetation. we could not keep the windows open, it was hot and humid, only one fan and it was not enough for the two rooms.
