We were impressed with the communication before we arrived through to the opportunity for a late checkout which meant we could fish on the lake for a few more hours. It was excellent

Great stay with my husbands aunt and uncle visiting from Australia…they were blown away by the view of Lake Tarawera! House was the perfect set up for us and a massive bonus to have our miniature schnauzer Gracie be welcomed as well.

View was stunning!

Everything about this property was awesome! We were there for trout fishing opening, so the jetty was perfect, we didn’t have great weather but the views made up for that.. would have been happy to just sit and enjoy the view and not fish in the rain lol! Thanks for opening your home and sharing this stunning spot!

Great Bach in a Very Special Spot

The house was perfect - everything that we needed for our stay. The location is great and the view spectacular. The only issue was that we had to go outside to access one of the bedrooms, which wouldn’t have been an issue, if there hadn’t been thunderstorms…

Great lakeside bach with gorgeous views

Bach was comfortable with everything you need to enjoy a few days relaxing lakeside. The large deck was great & captured sun until mid afternoon. Fireplace warms the open plan lounge & kitchen well. The teens enjoyed extra lounge/bedroom downstairs. Great to have quick access to private jetty & the lake path around to boat shed bay. Would definitely recommend this bach.

Great view, great property, great locale, great paddling

My sister and I, husbands and 80yr old mother came here for 3 nights. The mid-level house is lovely with a fabulous picture view of Boatshed Bay, open fire and refurbed kitchen and bathroom. (Upstairs is locked off). Beautiful walks through the bush and around the lakefront, and a highlight was the peaceful paddle around to next bay using the two included kayaks (yay!) If arriving in winter, light the fire immediately as takes ages to warm up the open plan house, even with extra oil and fan heater. Place would be amazing in summer! Definitely recommend it, didn't want to leave.
