Beds were clean and comfortable, although I felt I had to wipe down the kitchen before using it. The property was amazing! Beautiful views of the estuary, a peaceful place to walk in the mornings, and good view of stars at night. ##### Michele Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 13, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was paradise the views over the lakes and hills, the rainbows. The house was so cosy and easily heated with the open fire. Birds everywhere, I can’t wait to go back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 22, 2019 Liked: Staff & service No Frills house with a million dollar view. So quite and peaceful. Loved being able to use the fireplace and there was plenty of chopped wood. I am guessing this house is a work in progress as there is lots of construction waste about. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very comfortable house to stay in with great views an only a few minutes from Owaka.
