Marmora and Lake accommodation from NZ$206

We had the entire top floor four our group of 8. It was more than big enough for all of us and very comfortable. Was very convenient to have a restaurant open for dinner on the main level and made delicious food. Gas station with KFC and pizza was within a few minutes walk away also. The sauna in pool area was not working and the pool was very cold. It could use a heater to make the pool swimmable. My son went for a swim and his lips turned blue, was very cold.

We booked this cottage for 3 days over the holidays. We booked it under the impression that there were enough bedrooms to accommodate our large family. Online says there were 5 bedrooms however when we arrived there was only 4 and two of the teenagers had to sleep on the couches in the living room. The bedroom linens were nice and clean and they had ample towels and extra bedding in case we were cold.The space was large enough for everyone to hangout. The living room off of the kitchen is where we hung out mostly. Lots of tables and chairs for puzzling/ kids to play/ family to play games. The pool table was a big hit for the teens.One of our favourite things was the Sauna, it was easy to get the fire going and they had ample wood for us to use for our stay. Because we were such a large group we were looking forward to using two kitchens, however the main stove took over an hour to pre heat and the stove in the in-law suite wouldn’t stop smoking because of something burnt to bottom. The kitchen faucet in the in law suite was super loose we needed to wash all dishes in the main kitchen.The fridges look lightly wiped down but there was something gross at the bottom.The couches needed to be vacuumed, there was dirt and other crumbs from previous guests.The dishes were also dirty from previous guests and we needed to wash them before we could use.

Great spot on a beautiful lake. The cottage had plenty of amenities as per the listing. I would definitely book it again!
