The layout of the Lookout Apartment is unique and cosy. Good thing there is a toilet attached with the bedroom upstairs. What I loved most is the sunset view of the lake from the apartment. Is so picturique and romantic. We also enjoy the walk leading to the beach nearby.

Our room was perfect for our needs. Besides the usual, it had an oven which enabled us to prepare proper meals, not just breakfast. The location is good for taking walks in the area. The hosts are nice, friendly people who are very obliging.

The cottage was beyond delightful. From the spaciousness, to every possible amenity to the pastoral view everything was absolutely exceptional. We spent 3 nights but wished it was 3 weeks instead.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. We were treated very well. We had a room in the Lodge and loved it. The shower was great, and the kitchenette was well supplied. Lots of nice towels and our room was serviced when we wanted. There's a laundry for guests The view from our room was fantastic, overlooking a beautiful garden area as well as the soccer fields and the beach area. We were steps from 3 pubs, all a little different from each other, although we favored Smugglers because of its extensive options and a terrific lunch special. Close to everything anyone could need. Tahunanui Beach offers lots of activities for adults and children and only a short 5 to 10 minute walk away. Such a perfect location. Highly recommend staying here.

In an amazing spot right near the beach! Close to most restaurants but on a quiet street so no issues with noise. Sofa bed was comfy, and we slept comfortably with 5 people in the room. Everything is really well set out in the rooms and the park. Staff were helpful and the rooms had everything we needed. All in all pretty great!
