Spacious Retreat w/ Outdoor Bath

GinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in!! It's such a beautiful home, so comfortable, well-appointed, spacious & homely. All the wooden features were gorgeous. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a proper meal. We loved the fireplace & the outdoor bath. The fresh eggs, milk, teas, coffees & hot chocolate were a wonderful bonus. Huge & very comfortable bed. Everything was stylish & spotless. This place is a little slice of paradise & we wish we could have stayed a whole week!

Luxury Lake House on Edge of Lake & Glacier Views

ShariRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had an incredible stay at the Lake House! Jody and Barney have done an amazing job including extra special touches that make this stay remarkable in a truly beautiful part of the world. Jody was great for local suggestions and helped organise a birthday cake for my husband prior to our arrival. Unfortunately the guests before us were inconsiderate of the off-grid setup and did not adhere to the house rules and we arrived with no power or running water. Jody went out of her way to correct this, supplying additional amenities, a meal voucher and crediting us some of the night fee while a generator helped to restore power overnight. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space! We hope to be back one day.

Whare Rakau- Tui Room

BethRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Incredible bnb! Their home is a gem in such a tranquil setting. Glow worms right in their yard! Room and bath are squeaky clean, access to kitchen and the fridge is provided, and there was breakfast available! It’s close enough to walk to a restaurant, laundry, and the kiwi center. They are both wonderful people and Rocco is beautiful!
