Franklin County accommodation from NZ$110

Cons - Very dated building, mold around bath grout, many dead bugs on the floor, spider webs in ceiling corners, the area did not feel safe. Pros- The beds seemed nice and clean and were comfy, it was quiet.

10/10. Whispering Waters was phenomenal. We had 10 girls stay for a long weekend. The weather was great and enjoyed the deck with the lake views. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The living room sat 10 comfy. The kitchen was large and open. Having 2 full stoves was great. Dining room table sat 10 and additional 4 at bar. King master on main floor and 2 queen bedrooms upstairs. Basement had 4 full beds plus 2 full over full bunk beds. The house is all controlled by a wall media pad - can be a little tricky for those tech challenged. You are sent very detailed instructions for everything. The owners and property management company were extremely helpful and answered questions very promptly. The dock was wonderful and all supplies at dock, with lifejackets kept in laundry room closet. We had a wonderful time and already talking about coming back.

We had a ladies “Reading Retreat” and had a great time! We loved the house and our group wants to come back again. Everything was thought about from having a lighter for the grill/fire-pit to fresh flowers upon arrival. The ladies even told their husbands and now a guys trip is being planned for the same location. The only ‘issue’ we had was not enough trash bags. We planned all disposable containers for meals so we didn’t have to spend time cleaning. That just meant more trash than usual. But, we made it work and next time we’ll just ask ahead of time.
