Nice cottage in Okareka

Rich went out of his way to make sure our stay was smooth and to tell us about the area. The third bedroom sleep out is separate so it was not an option for our younger kids.

Peaceful Bird Life Stay

The inside is nicely presented, has a few things missing though, teaspoons for one?? Has great working kitchen. Inside beds were average, I would have said lumpy mattress in the one downstairs where I slept. For me this was not so great as I sleep on my stomach, others might be ok with it. Would be a great place in the summer, as nice deck with wonderful birdlife, we had about 7 Tuis in the morning. The rain created some outside issues, where the rusty guttering overflowed in places and this did make some noise in the evening. But what a lovely area away from so much but close at the same time. Thank you for accommodating us.

Lovely weekend away

Thank you for the lovely peaceful stay. We enjoyed lots of clear lake swims and watching the birds in the kowhai tree above the deck. And so great NOT having a tv!!

Lovely spot

Really lovely property, close to the lake but also close to the redwoods and town. Very handy. Had everything we needed but would have been nice to have a TV for night time chill. Would recommend.

Awesome

Easy communication and arrangements. Location 5 min drive from Redwoods absolutely ideal for mountain biking etc. 2 min from boat ramp too. Great place - lots of fun. Nice house, looks like a little bit of renovation finishing to be done. If you have little children, check that stairs have a kiddie gate fitted.
