Thank you Clare for sharing your beautiful home with us. This trip was a birthday present for my husband, he wanted to stay somewhere surrounded by nature and mountains and your home was absolutely perfect for us. We really enjoyed exploring the walks around the lake and coming back to relax with a cuppa by the fireplace. Everything was just perfect! Thank you again for having us, we will definitely be back for more :)
Great location for us as we had a boat and Kayaks and could do some fishing, locely comfortable beds and bedding, got to use the fireplace which was lovely and the view from the balcony was stunning
We spent the long weekend here with family for a friendâs wedding. We were lucky enough to get snow! The house and location was great, really enjoyed our stay.
A perfect place to get away from city life and enjoy the mountain solitude. Beautiful lake and mountain vistas, a really warm comfortable home that exuded hospitality.
We loved our stay at Lake Ohau in this beautiful and clean holiday home. Clare's instructions were thorough, clear and easy to follow, we will go back any time!
Awesome holiday home, great value for money, very warm, comfortable rooms, nice views, generous and helpful host, kitchen really well stocked with appliances and utensils. Would definitely return, thanks for having us
We loved our stay. Cosy home, comfy beds, easy living. Nice decking area, enjoyed dining outside overlooking Lake Middleton. Great views and also private. Dogs loved it too. Looking forward to staying again. Andrea
Had the most wonderful stay, with all weather conditions and it was stunning. Best time spent with family. Stunning accommodation with all the facilities and little touches that make it extra special. Watching the stars in the spa pool was magical.
We have enjoyed a very relaxing stay at this well equiped property. Beautiful view from the deck. Shame that it poured down on the first couple of days or else we would spend much more time out on the deck.... with a glass of wine. Last but not least, it was great being able to have a holiday with our dogs in a nice place.
Perfect place to relax and unwind. Couldn't be more perfect. The house had everything and more. Clare was great to deal with. Highly recommend this property
The house is clean, tidy and very comfortable. Everything you need for a home away from home is provided. We love this area with lots of dog walks, tramping, fishing and enjoying the outdoors. The house is ideal after a busy day, nice hot shower, well equipped kitchen, large deck with great views and comfy beds. Thank you.
Immaculate well-equiped house in a peaceful location
Beautiful house: modern, warm, clean, comfortable beds and a well-equiped kitchen. As older people, we would have liked a reading lamp or brighter light in the living room to be able to read more easily at night but that is our only criticism: this is one of the best houses we've stayed in. If you are not familiar with NZ, the main things to do at Ohau itself are skiing and fishing but there are many attractions and activities within easy driving distance.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Claire's lovely house.
It was perfect for us to take a break, relax and enjoy being in the mountains. We couldn't have asked for more - Claire was great in welcoming us and her home has everything one could need, is tasteful and really comfy. We wished we were snowed in so we could stay even longer. Thanks for sharing that happy place, Claire.
Clare was great to deal with and her house fitted our needs perfectly. Being 3 couples, we didn't feel on top of each other and everything we were looking for was there. Thank you from us all
I have been managing holiday rentals for over 12 years. At the moment I look after a holiday rental in Christchurch and Kaikoura along with my own property at the lake. I live in Christchurch but I have caretakers who help look after the remote properties. I love the ability to offer a place for families and their pets to enjoy their holidays. Itâs so much fun to read the visitors books and also liaise with visitors to our beautiful country who I sometimes get to meet.
I have had property in this area for 11 years. My last house at the lake was in need of a lot of maintenance which I couldnât handle on my own so I decided to sell mid 2019. It didnât take long to realise how much I missed the lake and the lovely Ohau community and so when I saw this perfect little cottage with a lovely out look I instantly knew it was the right thing to do. I have only had the cottage for a week at writing this but it already feels so homely and we are enjoying the marvellous views from every window the privacy, the sun shine and the shelter.
A truly wonderful part of New Zealand to enjoy the outdoors. The house has a different view from each window be it mountains or lake, along with the ever changing sky and the amazing star gazing at night.
