About this property

The secret is out - Iveagh Bay is the place to be!

Come and play in beautiful Iveagh Bay and enjoy stunning lake views, watch the fish jumping from the deck, birds swooping and sunsets that will take your breath away. Enjoy comfy beds, lush linen and a fabulous outdoor bath for star gazing.
Enjoy 2 bedrooms indoors and a super cosy sleepout by a gentle creek.
No TV but we do have plenty of wifi, books and board games..

Iveagh Bay is the perfect base for exploring the West Coast or you can choose to stay put to relax and unwind. Climb to the top of Mt TeKinga, take in the wild bush and beautiful birdsong... you'll not be disappointed. Plenty of parking for boats and toys.
Soak in the outside tub with a glass of wine and gaze at the stars above....

Super cozy, well appointed, and feels like a nature refuge, complete with bush and babbling brook out back! Tracey was very helpful and quick to reply.

Fantastic spot

We enjoyed a lovely weekend enjoying this great spot next to the lake. The house is clean, tidy and feels very homely. This is a great area to stay in to explore the lake.

A Wee Gem

The perfect get away in Iveagh Bay. The house equipped with everything you need and works well. It had the most amazing view and decks to enjoy it. Great little touches, with milk, coffee pods and cookies for when we arrived. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Iveagh Bay Magic & Uber Cool Bach!

The bach at Iveagh Bay is simply one of the best we've stayed in. Tracey, our host was in touch before during and after our visit - to give us instructions on access, to check everything was OK and to ask for any suggestion about improving the experience (there was nothing by the way!) The home is tastefully decorated and refurbished, the facilities are first class, the beds and linen were super and the views of the lake out front and of the beautiful native garden in the back are gorgeous! Thanks Tracey - Murray, Sandi, Tom and Heather
