Nice old fashioned kiwi bach
Nice and peaceful even though it’s not far from the road, great access to the lake, the oven could do with being replaced though

Stay away!
Stay away from this property.
We were booked in for 2 nights and had to leave early because of safety issues with the neighbours! They decided to have a huge party all night, flashed lights inside the property and doing a bone fire right outside the property !! I advised the property manager who said she would follow up with the owner but never updated me on anything. Useless company too! Contacted their customer service several times and no response !

Heavenly sunset.
Beautiful stay! Just right for my family we had so much fun on the kayak and my kids even made friends with the neighbours who were also renting the property. All in all such a relaxing place to be rain or shine. THANKS!

Very nice
Very nice views. The house came with a kayak so take a trip up the little rivers nearby. You are out of Taupo so you can be right up to the lake (in town, the road is there) and have the beach out the patio. The flowers on the beach were nice in the late spring. The house had all the conveniences and was clean. The BBQ was a nice touch.
The house got only four stars because it the Bachcare stocking of it seemed skimpy - we are expected to clean up but were provided a half roll of paper towels and ran out. The TP nearly ran out (although we eventually discovered the 2nd bathroom in the garage). For the price, it is a steal, however; quite cozy and functional. It was as advertised, nice for families, and I'd certainly stay there again.
