We loved this place as a summer getaway vacation. Cosy house, nice deck, big section for the boat and a short distance to the boat ramp and lakeside. We'll be back for sure!

Rotoiti stay

Very clean, comfortable, quiet and private. Very well planned and equiped. Great location for access to the other lakes. It was really helpful to have a range of information leaflets in the bach, although no WiFi and intermitant cell phone coverage made trip planning a little harder.But overall a great place for a relaxing stay.

Cool tiny house

We loved the layout and location of this converted container bach. We had everything we needed and it was clean and comfortable. Future renters should note that sheets/linens are extra. Also, it can get a little hot and cold inside due to lots of windows and original steel end doors.There are space heaters provided, but no air conditioning.We would definitely like to stay here again in the future.
