“We will be back~ See you~ All the blessings~”
The 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.

I 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!
