Great space to relax

Enjoyed our stay. Was clean and a quiet and relaxing spot. A short, scenic drive to Turangi gives plenty of options. Plenty of space outside etc to entertain kids and a playground just across the road as well. Would stay again. Thanks 😀

What a great place. Picnics by the lake with the children, ice creams at the local shop, board games if it’s raining. We even found glow worms nearby. Highly recommend.
