About this house rental

Fully self contained log house in a garden setting next to a reserve (that has a playground) and close to boat ramp and a good swimming beach this is a wonderful holiday house for families.
Dog friendly. Perfect for children. Sheltered, sunny and quiet with a large, flat, grassy section.
There are 2 bedrooms inside the main house with king size beds that can be separated into singles plus 2 sleepouts close to the house. One sleepout has a king size bed and the other a set of bunks with a double below and single up top. In addition to the main bathroom in the house, there's a cute semi outside bathroom (shower & toilet) between the sleepouts where you can shower in the "outdoors"! The house has a large deck in a garden setting. Well-behaved and house-trained dogs welcome. There are Kayaks available. Heat pump for winter. The "Cheeky Tui" holiday home at the top of the driveway is also owned by us, making it ideal for 2 families who are friends to rent one each.

Perfect place to stay with famy and friends for the Blue Lakes 24 hour challenge. We loved the flexible sleeping arrangements with two sleepouts. Kitchen is well equipped and the BBQ and deck was fantastic. Such a great location with amazing Bird life!

We had a lovely family time here. The accommodation is a bit tired. The sleepouts are in need of repair. We were lucky with the weather - if it was wet, the living area would have been crowded. No wifi.It felt a bit pricey.
