The house is as listed, spacious for 2 or 4, but think it’d be a squeeze if at max capacity. It had everything we needed though no dishwasher of course. Garden was great and we definitely recommend the Methven Walkway, and the Opuke hot pools. ##### Brian K.

Great place to relax after a day’s activities or the mountain. ##### Joseph R.
