Short holiday close to Lake Benmore

We had a lovely time. The cottage has a wonderful view of lake Benmore. It was just a short walk down the drive, across the highway and onto the cycle track. We walked along the track for about a kilometre, where it turns away from running alongside the highway and takes you out to a headland that juts right into Lake Benmore so you have this beauutiful all round view of the lake and you can hardly hear the traffic on the road. The cottage feels friendly and lived in. It's warm and the kitchen is big enough for two people to be cooking at the same time. There are big, 30 year old lavender bushes along the front of the cottage. It's a short drive to Omarama and a bit further along is Lake Ohau. We drove up the side of the lake to the Temple valley car park and had a rugged walk up the North Temple valley and then back to Ohau Lodge for a very welcome afternoon tea in the warm(it was a rather cool drizzly day). The only little quibble we have is that the cottage could have done with a few more stainless steel saucepans. Altogether it was a great holiday in a great cottage - highly recommended.
