Diamond lake near Kinloch, Otago, New Zealand
Diamond lake near Kinloch, Otago, New Zealand
A delightful spot alone at the end of a stunning drive. Gorgeous views, delicious food (kids menu too), comfy beds across a variety of room types and all affordable, even for backpackers. Kitchen available for guests to use but only a small shop to buy food. Fantastic hot tub up the back of the property, perfect for starry nights. Kayaks for use in summer. Bikes and fishing rods for hire all year. Tree house on the beach. Tons of activities in the area, especially walks. #KidsFun #NewZealand #ThingsToDoInNewZealand
Kinloch offers a great view of Lake Wakatipu and the Dart River boats speeding around. It's across the lake from Glenorchy and worth a stop.
Sometimes a piece of New Zealand "Paradise" is far closer than you think - like this #beach at Kinloch, not far from Glenorchy. A true #localgem !!!
