Lovely well equipped bach. Was happy there was limited data coverage and no Wifi as it meant we came together as a family without any distraction. A gem of a place and Oputere and it’s surrounds us an excellent place to explore. Thankyou very much.

We (4 humans, 2 furry companions) all had a great time. It’s super peaceful, well equipped and close enough to town for retail therapy. There’s no wifi or cell coverage, but we knew that, only one of the puppies had withdrawal. We noted previous comments about the driveway but found it was easy, zero issues. Thoroughly recommend as a ‘get away from it all’ experience.

Enjoy Nature at its best

This beautiful cosy mountain chalet was just what my family needed. The place and the atmosphere gave us a good reset that we needed away from our daily busy lives. We plan to come back again because it was just so relaxing to have a coffee in the mornjng while we enjoyed the stunnning view of the lake and the mountains from the balcony.
