Property information

Retro Inn #1 is a warm, sunny classic 'kiwi' holiday home with plenty of character, and great lake and mountain views from the deck. A cosy living area opens onto a small deck with outdoor seating from which to enjoy the vista. An internal staircase leads up to the main queen bedroom on a mezzanine floor. Two more bedrooms are on the main floor, along with the bathroom, which includes a shower over the bathtub. Log burner with firewood supplied, heatpump, TV, DVD. Full kitchen facilities. Games room with table tennis downstairs. PLEASE NOTE; this is an older, wooden 'Lockwood' house, so it does creak with changes in the outside temperature, particularly in the evenings/night-time. However, if you enjoy a holiday house with character and soul then this is absolutely the one for you!

Neighbourhood information
