This property was very clean, had a great kitchen and the area was very quiet. It could easily accommodate a larger family. Also, a washer and dryer were a great asset. Shopping was nearby as were the restaurants.
Less convenient would be the bathroom. It has an excellent shower but the smallest sink I've ever seen.
We also wondered whether the many extension cords in use everywhere wouldn't overload the electrical system.
Still, overall it was very convenient and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic place in Turangi, with very new and plentiful amenities. Better equipped kitchen than my own and the cleanest blankets I've ever seen in a holiday house. Good price, good communication and generous to deal with. Thanks for a lovely holiday location. We'll be back.

Absolute beauty of a home.
Absolute beauty of a home. Great views and location. House is well equipped, comfortable and warm. Very modern interior with everything you could need. We were a little doubtful that the house would be warm as we arrived in the evening and it was freezing, but once the fire was on the entire house heated up and the kept the warmth all throughout the stay. Would recommend to all and would love to stay again in future :)

The property was great for our two families to stay in (bit cramped with two families but fine for our short stay). House was lovely, tidy, very warm and secure. The fire was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing to note is that the driveway curb entrance is nasty and you will need to watch the curb when you enter and exit the driveway.
