About this property

True Kiwi Bach Experience

A true Kiwi bach experience.
Sitting on the shore of Great Lake Taupo is this genuine family bach.
Originally built in the 1940’s as a fisherman’s hut it has been extended and updated over the years in true Kiwi bloke style, recently redecorated to create a more homely feel.
Enjoy the views through the two large picture windows looking across and up the lake towards Taupo. The bach is perfectly positioned to see the often beautiful evening sunsets.
25mins south of Taupo, 15mins north of Turangi and 5 seconds from the water!
Freeview TV is available.

Duvets and blankets are provided and you can either choose to bring your own linen or pay a small additional cost for sheets.

UPDATE: We have added two wall heaters to the bach so feel free to try a winter getaway and within an hour you can be on the skifield! NO HEATPUMP OR FIREPLACE, so bring your slippers!!

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:

Gather used towels

Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish

Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys

Please do your dishes and leave the property as you found it.

Please vacate the property by 11am on the day of check out so the cleaners can get the place ready for the next guests.

Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Be aware that in winter, our bach does not have a heat pump or an open fire - it can be very cold on the plateau during winter months.

This is an old school bach - in the cooler months, field mice always manage to find a way in - we set bait, traps and use sonic deterrents.
