We had a great stay at Takitimu. The house and furnishings are a little dated but the views are absolutely stunning and the house is well designed to make the most of them. Our family group had a great stay and really appreciated that there was a bathroom for each bedroom. The host was very responsive.

The house is very clean, with full kitchen equipment for quick cooking. The lake view from the house is perfect. We really enjoyed staying here. The host was very responsive to our request. One of the shower drainer was not working well; I reported to the host and he sent someone over to fix it on the same day. The reason I gave 4* for the location is because the drive way (Martys lane) down to the house is kind of steep. It would be scary for someone who has no experience driving up and down hill. We ended up parking on the street before turning into Martys lane. On the listing it said it takes 20min to walk to the mall, the center. It’s true for the distance but we won’t be able to walk because there’re about 3 long blocks of up and down hill. However, it’s just a short drive to the shopping areas. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for us at this house. We would definitely stay here again if we come back here next time.

4 friends, 4 bathrooms
Top feature is the magnificent view. We couldn’t stop looking out the large windows. The property has most of the things you need for a short or long stay. We were 4 friends staying for five days, and each having our own bathroom and bedroom allowed us the space we needed. Communication with the host was easy and the instructions given to us easy to understand and implement. We had a wonderful stay.
