The Boat Shed | Lake Okareka

The Boat Shed | Lake Okareka

10/10 Excellent
"Very cool location with beautiful lake views from both sides.Small kitchen and bathroom downstairs. Quite cold in that downstairs area as although there was an excellent heatpump all the heat went upwards and there are no window coverings in the entry. Beautifully warm in the upstairs lounge, bedroom and loft bedroom. Had all we needed for a comfortable stay.We stayed as a family of four. Note the loft bed is right above the other bed and it did sound like the kids were right next to us when they were whispering during the night. Easily solved with earplugs, but something to be aware of.Would stay here again."

"We loved our stay. Everything you needed, warm, spacious, quiet, convenient and my czn is still dreaming about the shower pressure 👍 I was looking for the electric blanket on the bed to find that there wasn't one .. being in the middle of winter! To my surprise I found that what was on the bed was more than ample and there was a spare blanket in the draw. Have stayed in several other motels there but will definitely return to the Pacific Coast motel when in town."
