Good and timely contact with the owner/manager. House well maintained, clean and warm with a good wood supply and house generously supplied with everything. Beds very comfortable. Living room lights not bright enough to read with. Overall, a great place to stay and we would love to come again.

Thanks Marg. Glad you had a lovely time. I will investigate the lighting. May need brighter bulbs or a tall lamp should do it. Thank you for the booking and taking the time to comment 🌿☺️

Lovely home at a fantastic location. Great spot to get out and visit some mature podocarp forest and have a look at Lake Kaniere. The home is well appointed and very comfortable.
