Gorgeous views, cosy set-up

It was a delight to see views of the lake and Mount Ngongotaha from the house in addition to a field of adorable sheep right beside the house. Communication from the property owner and manager was perfect. All the necessities are provided, including linen, towels and soaps, and even access to streaming services on the TV! But I suggest bringing smaller bowls and a coffee plunger if you like filter coffee.
