Top Hotels Near Lion's Park in Howard Lake from NZ$108

"It was everything we wanted and more. The game room was a perfect place to get out of the sun and let the kids play. The hosts were very responsive. The house had a lot of space, never felt crowded. We had 6 adults and 4 kids(2 yr- 10yrs). The lake is high but still caught fish and played in the water. Highly recommend!!"

"Beautiful house, lovely area, keep checking for open dates for a weekend away "

"Easy check in and check out. Very convienent location for so many fun things especially stuff geared toward kids. Host was very responsive when we needed anything. The lake is in front of the house across the street, but was still private access just didnt realize that from the pics!"

"Relaxing, quiet week. Renting the pontoon was the best decision we made. When you rent a VRBO you never know what you will run into. Below is information that I would have found helpful to know. The front of the house is a 4 season porch. It isn't very deep so it wasn't somewhere to hang out but it was great to use for our extra stuff and for coming and going! Always able to find some some shade near the water. Loved that there was a little sand area for those sand lovers but nice you stepped into grass when walking off the dock. The lake itself is a little weedy but there was a device that was attached to their dock that kept the first 10 feet weed free with very nice sand. Great for young kids. The end of the dock was weedy but if you got past then the water was OK. We did see a lilly pad mat in the garage but we didn't use it. A few small fish were caught off the dock.Inside was set up well. The air conditioning worked very well so if you plan to use the basement, plan to use extra blankets. The kitchen had the basics but here are things I would have packed: small left over containers, plastic drinking cups (plenty coffee and wine glasses but very few other glasses for adults), coffee filters, and ice if you use ice in your beverages. There is an ice maker but hard to keep up with a bigger group."

"We stayed five nights at Waters edge retreat with our daughter and her husband and their two children ages six and two. The accommodations were perfect! The cottage was recently updated and spotless! It had ample room for our group, including laundry. It was well stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, spices, extra paper, towel, etc. Dishes and pots and pans were all in beautiful condition! There is no zero entry into the lake, but it is very shallow near shore and we had no problem swimming there with the six-year-old. The two-year-old wasn’t interested lol. There is also a large sandy beach and public park just a couple minutes away if you have real young children. The responsiveness of management was excellent and we even met the very kind owner. We highly recommend!"

"Housekeeping staff very accommodating and friendly. "

"This home is very inviting and brings instant calm. Lots of fun on the canoe and laughs around the campfire. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

"My son caught lots of fish. Owners were responsive and helpful and we had the best time! Thank you for letting us stay at this great house! "
