Summary: We had an amazing time at your cottage! The sunrise and sunset lake views were truly breathtaking. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the farm living experience, and the flying fox added an extra element of excitement. Thank you for providing such a memorable getaway for our family!

Summary: Two adults and two teenagers had a great time at the cottage. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, the flying fox and walking around the grounds - and just hanging out really. Lots of great walks within a fairly short drive but do check to see if the tracks are open. Tutira store (about 5 min drive) has a good range of ice creams and cold drinks. No groceries though. Napier was fantastic for a couple of day trips as well. The drive is through some beautiful areas and so doesn’t feel long. George and Kirsty very helpful as well.

Summary: My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I loved showing my children where I was brought up, and this beautiful cottage. The views were amazing and the kids absolutely loved the flying fox. Thank you so much :) P.S - I tried my hardest to ensure it was it the same condition. I also washed the towels, which you will find in the dryer. I didn't have time to wait for them to dry, so I could fold them and pack away sorry.

Summary: Thanks Kirsty and George for a lovely few days away. Such a nice spot and definitely worth the drive from Napier. There was some confusion about our arrival time, but as soon as we let them know we'd got there Kirsty made sure we had everything we needed! If we are in the area again in future we would definitely look to come back!
