White House

The white house is the fanciest and most spacious of the three houses – it houses the deluxe double rooms and an ensuited double room. The ensuited room has its own bathroom and the two deluxe doubles share a bathroom and 2 toilets. All three rooms share the lounge, kitchen and dining room. The views of Lake Wakatipu and Walter Peak from the common area are spectacular!
