Lake Okaraka
Great house for a family, with lots of toys and books. The house was very clean and the beds comfortable. We could walk to the Lake but could not see it from the house.

A Fantastic Spot
First impression was very clean and well kept. Small problem with the bed which Tracy arranged to get fixed the same day. Overall we had a very comfortable and relaxing stay, I was particularly impressed by all the rugby books in the bookshelf, spent ages reading those.
