Reviewed Feb 22, 2026The garden looks amazing. We were living in the one bedroom lake-view lodge it is so comfortable and elegantly decorated, also full of necessary facilities for cooking,laundry,basically everything and more of what we need. The owner Mr. Wang and Mrs. Helen treated as like families, we were deeply touched especially during Chinese New Year season. Last but not least, the beautiful Lake Karapiro is within walking distance, and you can just look outside of your room windows or simply walk to the terrace of your own then the lake is just all in your eyes. And the doggie here named HAPPY is everything to us, we have had the best time with him. He is the best.

Reviewed Oct 23, 2024I was not present for the breakfast but everything was exceptional. The place, the lodge itself was wonderful. Beautiful scenery and the car park were big enough to fit many cars. The lodge itself was amazing to stay in, very spacious and big to hold an entire family. Would 100% recommend to anyone travelling towards Cambridge!

Reviewed Sep 22, 2024It is by far the MOST AMAZING property I have stayed . Right from the warm host, the stunning location, the cleanliness of the place…. Everything is outstanding !! Lovely garden, Linen , amenities, connectivity to the different attractions … it was just perfect for us! It’s ideal for families and even more fabulous for couples !! The host is fabulous and friendly, very prompt to respond to anything we needed. Her suggestions of good Italian places for dinner was spot on!
There’s nothing to not like about the property! It’s almost perfect ! If I do have to pick something it would be the proximity to the main road ( however that’s also an advantage) and you can hear the traffic ONLY WHEN you stand outside . Inside the house it’s absolutely quiet.

We loved the home, nothing was out of place.

Everything was perfect!!! The only thing I would like to comment on is the shower.
