A wonderful place to stay and a wonderful host. Bed was so comfortable and the view is magnificent. We will have to come back and stay again. More

I have seen this lake many times. All recent reviews commenting on the brilliant blue colour are not actually seeing the real colour which makes it famous. I recently drove past Lake Pukaki a couple weeks ago (early May) and due to the time of year, it is currently as blue as any normal clean lake would be, albeit much... More
