Our Testimonials

Had an after hour ghost tour tonight. The Lake House Arts Centre is a small place with a lot of fine arts and an interesting history. Our tour guide was humorous and knew the place well. Snacks and beverages/drinks were provided, which was great. We only had 2 hours for the tour and the house was full of guests, which made me feel short and crowded. So therefore I would suggest that future tours would last longer and less than 10 guests shall be invited for one single tour. I was glad to hear the host teamed up with Paranormal NZ to conduct paranormal investigations. I am a regular guest to Paranormal NZ, who sometimes create public events. Their events are long and limited to few participants, which make their events more fun and engaging. So yeah less people, more time would be better. I took some pics before l left, and if you see sth unusual, let the host know.

Fantastic venue, love this place. Have been numerous times for a variety of reasons (including the Ghost Tour – very well done, highly recommend!). Most recently, used the Lake House Arts as a venue for a staff Christmas party and they went above and beyond. The venue was beautiful, the hosts were incredible, the catering was next level – providing options to suit everyone. Would definitely recommend this place for an event, or just a Saturday afternoon peruse and lunch at their cafe
