The property was a good base for our trips to Mt Cook and the various lakes around the area. It is child-friendly as some books, toys, colouring pencils/markers and board games are provided. The owner also kindly let our kids use the trampoline outside. There are restaurants and 4 Square supermarkets within a short driving distance.
