House was very clean, everything we needed was there. Some written tv instructions would have been handy.

The view over the lake is wonderful and the location is very peaceful. We enjoyed walking the Lake Okareka Walkway which is across the road from the tiny house- about 4km return.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2023
The property was ok…not on the lake…overlooks a small parking lot to access trails and limited view of the lake. The place needs some updating…perhaps the price reflects that a bit. Appliances are old, uncomfortable couch/daybed. Had lots of dishes etc but didn’t have a can opener which we needed. The bed also had an old heating pad which started to burn the mattress while we were there!
