Beautiful view and home
Excellent location and view - loved the upstairs living space; had everything we needed. Roo⁷ms all good, and the outside space was a great bonus as was two bathrooms - never ran out of hot water even with 6 guests. Everything in pictures is accurate - id say bunks ate best for younger kids but all good. Oven door didnt quite close but would be an easy fix. We loved it. Thank you!

Beautiful view and house
This house has a gorgeous view of the lake and is nicely situated. It was well equipped with everything you need - just bring your linen! We were a bit concerned by one of the bar chair backs being held up by a toothpick, but otherwise the facilities were great. As we didn't want to sleep in the garage, we moved a mattress into one of the rooms and found it to be a comfortable alternative. The hosts were easy to deal with and we would happily return. Thank you!

Wonderful stay with amazing view
We had a great stay at this property with our family. The location was amazing- just a short walk to the beachfront, which made it super convenient. The amenities were good, and the rooms were clean and tidy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for both baking and cooking, which was a pleasant surprise. The suprette is nearby to get basic grocery. We were delighted by the view from the balcony the next morning; we hadn’t realised how stunning it was when we arrived at night. The house was warm and cozy and the kids had a blast playing different board games available. The only downside was the hot water supply- it ran out after three people showered, which was a bit inconvenient. But overall, it was a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Robyn Molony

Host profile image
We are a retired professional couple with two adult daughters. After living in Christchurch for twenty three years we have recently moved to Hawkes Bay. We are now so lucky to be able to spend more time at Kinloch, however we also enjoy sharing our lovely home with others.
Kinloch is a special place where we all love to return to. Special memories are made here - hours in and on the lake doing an array of water sports, boating and fishing; walking, cycling, soaking in nearby thermal pools, day trips to the mountains or simply relaxing with family and friends.
We are grateful to have the support of a local lady who cleans the house between guests and friends and family who frequently check our house to ensure it is kept to the high standard we aspire to, to ensure our guests have a very special stay.

Why they chose this property

Kinloch has been our family holiday base since the early 1980's, travelling from Christchurch every year to enjoy summers with extended family in a bach owned by my late parents. Wanting to have our own permanent holiday base, we were very excited to become the proud owners of this unique house and maximize its potential. We have created a very comfortable, easy to maintain holiday home, which exudes a relaxed holiday ambiance every time we walk through the front door. As we cannot always be at "CedarView at Kinloch" we love the opportunity to share our piece of paradise with others.

What makes this property unique

A breathtaking view over the lake from the upstairs open plan living spaces and even the kitchen sink!
A super efficient wood burner for those who love the ambience of a fire. and a new heat pump installed in the downstairs hallway effectively warms the bedrooms.
Relaxed seating areas to enjoy upstairs or downstairs in a very sheltered paved garden.
Fully fenced / secure section where children can safely play.
Paved areas for off street parking
An easy 3-4 minute walk to the marina and lake edge.
Spaces to be together or to get away from others ......
