Beautiful views out over the lake with doors that open right back to enjoy the view.

Beautiful views out over the lake with doors that open right back to enjoy the view. Native birds sitting in the trees that are right up to the house, we even had a kereru fly right into the lounge. It was huge and drunk on berries, but we guided it out! Wonderful spot for a couple to get away to - which is why we were there! (Quirky and cute hobbit-like bunkroom for the kids if yours are confident with high sleeping spaces.)

Caution - Read the reviews!

Bachcare should not be listing this property. Very run down. Parts of the lounge floor are collapsing, strong mould smell throughout, toilet almost overflows each flush, kitchen plates/crockery were chipped and dirty. Our 7 year old was trapped in the toilet which has no exterior window thanks to a pencil, electrical tape and drill-bit being used as a lock mechanism (yes, you read that right). We eventually had to kick the door in to free a panicking child. Totally against Building Code. Pencil and electrical tape about sums up how the property is being held together… The redeeming factors are the bush & birds location with a ‘peak’ of lake view. The property has great style that COULD be absolutely awesome if some routine maintenance was completed. Book here with caution.
