The Ultimate Adventure Basecamp!If you’re looking for a thrill, this is the place to be. A classic Kiwi bach, it offers incredible access to Lake Rotoiti: we loved kayaking to the hot water streams and taking the short stroll to the hot waterfall pool. The house kept the kids fully entertained with a pool table, arcade games, and darts. It served as the perfect home base for our zip-lining and white-water rafting excursions. A must-stay for anyone with a spirit of adventure!

The view is amazing. However access to the property is challenging. It’s quite rural with a long off-road access. Really difficult without a 4x4. Also no WiFi which should be carefully read through the listing.

Quiet getaway

Love the remote location and the beautiful view from inside and outside the bach. The kids had fun with the games and pool table. Heat is mostly from a wood burning stove.

Beautiful Lake House

Amazing property with an amazing view, we went for a boating weekend and this house is the perfect location. Boat ramp just down the road, ski lane right out in front of the house and hot springs so close to the house. We loved our trip and can't wait to come back.
