About the host

Hosted by Kelli

Host profile image

As a family we purchased a Bach in Whareroa Village in 2002. Our children were then 6 and 8. Over the years we’ve had wonderful holidays in the village and surrounding environment. We love the lake and the restful nature of the area. We come here regularly with friends and extended family. The opportunity came up to purchase another Bach in the area and we committed to this readily.

Why they chose this property

Linga-Longa is a warm and inviting Bach for your lakeside retreat at Whareroa. It’s well equipped and very close to the lake.

What makes this property unique

The views are wonderful!
