Enjoyed our stay and liked how the cottage was close to the village and lake.

Great location.

Some tea and coffee sachets would have been welcome. The louvers in the bathroom were stuck open, so the bathroom was cold. An outside light above the door would be helpful.

3 / 10

Poor condition

Location close to the village. Heat pump and heater provided.

House is old, paint chipped off. Bathroom, shower is dirty with mould. Weeds creeping in through the door. Couch doesn't look clean. Below expectation for the price I paid.

"For me this cute wee cottage is reminiscent of a quintessential kiwi bach. Cute as a button, scrupulously clean, directly opposite the lake, my 88 year old father and I could not have been more plea..."

Perfect location, right in front of the lake and an easy walk to the church. Very friendly staff who offered great help! The cottage is quite old, but it has that cozy, old-school charm. Enough heater and heat pump in the room.

The bathroom was so weird, could barely pass.

因為是老屋子，喜歡新穎的設計會非常不合適
