A fantastic home

We loved our stay! The home was spacious and had everything we needed. Unfortunately, the negative part was having to take our recycling and rubbish with us! It was quite an inconvenience.

EVEN BETTER THAN EXPECTED

Large, clean, comfortable and well set up - felt like being in a home, not just a house. Location was pefect for us - a few doors away from family. Thank you and hope we might be able to use the house again on our regular trips to Motuoapa.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret McCarthy

Hi there, we are Margaret and Kieran with 3 grown children who enjoy holidaying at the lake so we can relax and go fishing. We recently purchased the home to be able to have time out and are wanting to be able to offer this to others also.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in a quiet neighbourhood away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is private, warm and cosy and great for families with the best of both worlds having the lake and ski fields close by.
