Lovely home on the lake!
We loved the gorgeous views at the home. It was well appointed appreciated the fans and air conditioning units. Deck was lovely and covered during rainy days. Only issue was that the kayaks which were listed as three working units only had one out of three that actually floated without taking on water. In addition one of the paddles was broken. This was disappointing as we had hoped to explore the lake as a family.

Weekend away for a wedding in Ngongataha
We needed a place for 8 adults to stay for a wedding close by, for 2 nights. We loved the location to the wedding and the place was well set up. Nice to have air conditioning as the midges are quite bad in February and you need to keep the place closed at dusk. The outside table is fabulous for BBQ dining. The host was really good to deal with. I would suggest 8 adults a bit much for a one bathroom (toilet in the bathroom) set up.

Beautiful house with a beautiful view of the lake. Nice and quiet neighborhood perfect for relaxing.
The edgewater escape is a beautiful place to get away from city life and take some time to relax. The neighborhood was nice and quiet so there were no disturbances. The lake is right in your backyard so you can take a dip and not have to leave the house. The shopping center is only a few minutes away and there are plenty of places to visit and explore. My have was the Secret Spot Hot Tubs. Overall a great experience and perfect place escape.
