Nice Property with nice lake view
The property is on a pleasant housing estate, clean and well presented, most amenities available. Host lives in the property (when not let), which does create a slightly bizarre scenario of host possessions around the property plus host food in the fridge and kitchen. I have never experienced this before, it would have been better if the fridge had been cleared, but we "worked around" the "quirky" set up and enjoyed our stay there. Better garden furniture would have been nice. better quirky than dirty......and good nights sleep was had....

Winter haven for oldies
Wonderfully warm and quiet for a winter stay while attending family function in Ashburton. Beautiful view and enjoyable walk around the lake to Lake House for coffee. Plenty of recreational options available (Kayaking, golf, tennis, snow sports) if we had stayed longer.

Lovely waterfront home, very relaxing and peaceful, only negative is storage - we stayed 8 nights and arrived to a nearly full pantry/fridge freezer and bedroom drawers/bathroom so we struggled with storage a fair bit. Would recommend Bev buy a garage fridge and store her personal items when people are staying a week plus, but other than this would recommend.
