Fantastic home in a beautiful location
Such a beautifully presented and spectacularly located holiday home. We had a fantastic time and some much needed rest and relaxation. Communication was fantastic including excellent suggestions of things to do in the area. We were greatful for the extra duvets on the bed and fireplace, as the weather was colder than we are used to. Thanks again, Claire and family

Stunning Location
We had a wonderful stay at Pohutukawa Lake House. We found the area by accident and had no idea that Lake Tarawera was such a beautiful location. The house overlooks the lake with stunning views from the deck. The house is very pleasant and well-appointed. It is quiet and private. We loved the busy bird-life and extensive gardens. There is plenty of room so it would be well-suited to couples or families.

Great house in a gorgeous location
The house was lovely, just as described, and very clean and comfortable. The views of the lake and surrounding area are amazing! If the weather is nice and you leave the windows and doors open you hear nothing but birdsong. The kitchen was large and well-furnished with all the equipment we needed to cook our own meals. The washer and dryer worked great (the dryer is in the garage, which surprised these two Americans, but it was perfect once we realized where it was). Would highly recommend!
