“The suites, complete with kitchens and living areas, offer real space to settle in-appealing for longer stays near Lake Wakatipu. Its unique cinema and spa build in recreation, while its distance from town encourages peaceful relaxation. I think families who don't mind relying on water taxis or ride-shares would find this a comfortable base, especially with the on-site dining focused on regional flavors.”

small verandahlimited food

I was really annoyed by the small verandah. It couldn't even fit a chair! the solid wall blocked any real view, a huge letdown. also, the food choices were very limited. if you stay more than a couple of nights. you need a vehicle to get around. i was expecting better for the price we paid. the limited storage space was also frustrating, especially for a longer stay.
