    Everything suited our requirements.

    The location of Tempest was great, easy walking into the town. Lyn and Christ were excellent hosts, the conversation around the breakfast table was enjoyable. Lyn is not only an wonderful artist, we enjoyed looking at all her beautiful artwork on the walls, she is also an excellent cook, she made muffins for breakfast and delicious cookies to enjoy with our afternoon tea. The room was very quiet and dark of a night.

    Initial greeting by owner Chris felt a little like an interrogation. Which was a little off putting.

    Good location, well presented and comfortable room and ensuite bathroom.

    Attic-like room was fairly warm, but did have AC unit; no one in NZ seems to have screens on windows or ceiling fans, but heated towel racks are everywhere.

    Homey setting with very friendly owners. Easy walk down into town.

    Chris & Lin are excellent hosts. The accommodation was very comfortable, well situated and close to town. Our room was large, bed comfortable & bathroom spotless. The highlight was the beautiful breakfast of homemade jams, granola & freshly baked bread. Even better was an opportunity to share this with our hosts & other guests.

    The owners are really morning people who like to have their breakfast early. It took some negotiations to get breakfast at at 9.00.

    Spacious rooms, quietly located and a sumptuous breakfast.

    The home was lovely and our bedroom suite very comfortable. It was walking distance to the center of town and lots of restaurants. The breakfast was amazing with homemade bread and granola, homegrown tomatoes and freshly canned fruit and personally prepared poached eggs and latte’s. Linn and Chris were wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them! The best accommodation of our trip.

    Some roads were closed around the property which made it difficult to find. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time.

    Location was a 10 minute walk to the lake and all the bars and restaurants. Our host advised of their favourites. Lovely continental breakfast including poached eggs and freshly made bread and muffins that were delicious. Thanks for a great stay.

    Had to step over the bath to shower. Nothing else really, shame we only stayed 1 night.

    Great location only a 10min walk into the heart of town. Staff very friendly and helpful. Huge well appointed room with a lovely view of the gondola. I think we got an upgrade. Loved the lolly jars and free happy hour. Would stay again and recommend.
