This is it, the family Matarangi holiday spot you’ve been looking for, where all the comforts of home and a truly tranquil location are ready and waiting. Welcome to Lakeside Villa Retreat. Picture relaxing on your private deck, firing up the BBQ for a family feast, and enjoying casual conversation and cool drinks long into the warm summer evening. The kids can play on the lawn in front, while you admire the tranquil views out toward Castle Rock, known affectionately by locals as The Sleeping Giant. Indoors here at Lakeside Villa Retreat, a beautifully presented open-plan living and dining space is furnished with comfort and practicality in mind. The space is light and bright thanks to an abundance of windows and doors, which open to create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and features heat pump technology that allows you to set the ideal temperature with the touch of a button. This living room flows easily into the fully equipped kitchen and dining area, where an open layout means the cook doesn’t need to be left out of the conversation. Move easily from pan to plate, whether you’re dining indoors, or alfresco on the deck. For evenings when you're keen to kick back on the couch and catch up on your favourite TV shows and movies, make the most of the Smart TV and log in to Netflix. When it’s time to unwind at the end of the day, Lakeside Villa Retreat has three bedrooms ready for everyone to retreat to and recharge the batteries. A master bedroom with king bed is an ideal haven for parents, and a large family bathroom and additional toilet provide the conveniences for your stay. Wake in the morning and enjoy a cuppa admiring the view as you make a plan for your day in this beautiful part of New Zealand. Here at Lakeside Villa Retreat, you’re just a 10-minute walk to the beach, and a short walk to the golf course and bowls club.
