Great crew of guys, they were respectful of my property , leaving it clean and tidy and a wonderful bonus the towells were all washed and dried prior to their leaving. The booking was organised by the company with regular contact and ease of communucation . I welcome them back for future shuts in our area.
Fantastic stay at a gorgeous bach at Lake Rotoehu. The house is so comfortable with everything you could want for a lovely stay. We enjoyed the spa pool and view of the lake.

Lake Forest felt like a home away from home. From the moment you step foot on the property you feel the everyday stress leave and that's before relaxing in the spa. The property was neat and tidy the views of the lake were Awesome. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing place for a holiday or even a weekend..

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Nathan on arrival, however our communication during their stay was great. I had concerns that the wifi access and power may have been interrupted by strong windy weather , Nathan's quick and friendly response was reassuring that all was fine.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nathan and his family to other hosts as they took great care of the property leaving it very clean and tidy.
Perfect family break. Super house, location and amenities. Rechelle was so kind and thoughtful. Highly recommend booking this bach!
