Lovely and cozy house

It was our first friendship trip with bach and we loved so much and agreed that we shall comeback regularly! House is nice, cozy and warm clean. The kitchen was fully stacked so that you didn't need to worry about cooking. Full of entertainment, Turangi is lovely place to stay longer.

8/10 Good

The property's location is excellent within Turangi town and is easy to find.

The property's location is excellent within Turangi town and is easy to find. The property is maintained to a reasonably good standard and has a homely feel to it. We only stayed 1 night, but the property can easily support longer stays as it is well stocked with condiments and utensils for cooking. The property worked well for our group of 8. We would happily return to the property for a stay in the future, if it was still available for stays.

Beautiful home

This is such a beautifully cosy property! 😍 we just loved all the extra homely touches from the sign on the door to the fresh milk in the fridge! Communication with the owners was awesome. We so appreciated your kindness during this stressful time for our family!!

Fantastic place to stay

I was first to arrive and was absolutely blown away, a welcoming sign on the door, heat pump was on so on a cold night it was toasty warm. Lots of wood for the fire. A gift basket on the table and some supplies in the fridge, and celery and parsley in the garden - these people are amazing. The house itself is well set up and so comfortable, not far for a nice walk along the river or to the shops. I will definitely stay here again!

Weekend in Turangi

One of the best houses we have stayed at in Turangi. Super clean and comfortable with lots of little touches (like fluffy towels) that made a difference. Great off street parking for the boat and secure for our small dog. Special thanks to Clint for going the extra mile and putting extra palings on the fence for us to keep small dogs safe.

Another wonderful stay at this Bach

A great Bach conveniently located to the slopes. This was our second stay here and was another great stay. My son loved the Wii and was quite possibly the highlight of his trip. Our dog Comet had the best holiday with Clint taking him for walks and giving him lots of attention when we were out.
