Spinnaker Bay provides high quality accommodation at a price that is good value, especially if you have a group. All the creature comforts are great, the views are awesome, and you’re guaranteed a gorgeous sleep with no disturbance from any party-goers.

We stayed in a delightful two bedroom apartment where every room was incredibly spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the appliances and homewares you’d want. The bedrooms were large enough to swing a cattery full of cats around, and the gorgeous king sized bed and delightful linen made for an amazing sleep experience. Even the nicely appointed bathrooms were big and one had a ginormous spa bath. The spa produced about as many bubbles as you’d get if you blew through a straw, but the bath even had little armrests – perfect if you want to read a book in the bath. With a bath that big, lucky that NZ doesn’t have a drought problem!

Other pros: very spacious rooms, daily maid service, great tourist advice, a heated swimming pool, and an easy walk along the lake track into town. See our video here
