House has a 90s feel to it, with having a VHS player, no wifi however I did not mind my teenagers did though. It's a good place if you want to get a feel of a typical NZ experience outdoors being surrounded by multiple lakes and thermal pools. I will go back in future just with more family this time round. Thank you to our lovely hosts whom had no problem with reminding us to reach out if we needed anything. Arohamai Robyn & Joy.
