Pros:

Super helpful staff and really fabulous location

Cons:

Issues with their new technology, meant having to spend 1 hour trying to connect and ultimately really begs the question; why have the technology option advertised?? Would recommend removing it. It spoilt our evening

The view from the cabin is hard to beat.

The cabins overlooking the lake makes glamping if I may call it to another level.

Cons:

Could do with a little salad for breakfast.

Pros:

Lovely location and really nicely equipped. Bed a bit narrow but this is common for New Zealand. Food in the restaurant was fantastic as was breakfast.

Pros:

Quirky and lovely “cabin” with great view of Lake Wakatipu and good access to some nearby hikes. The cabin was beautiful and had all the bells and whistles and tech amenities you could want. Loved the idea of the full screen and TV but we couldn’t bear to bring down the shade on that great view, so decided TV was not a priority. Loved the hot tun shared only by the few cabins. Took advantage of yoga in the yurt and dinners on the property (not many other dining options nearby!)
