Book a Kawerau Cottage

"Thanks for the lovely place to stay, and all the good entertainment. Best host ever."

"Everything you need in this cute cottage including an outdoor area. Easy check in. Would stay again."

"Wanted to stay longer at this bach. Everything is great about this place. Well stocked with all cooking, sleeping and recreational needs. Neighbouring bach’s all great and locals very helpful with hints on local places to visit."

"We very much enjoyed our stay in the Love Shack. It is a neat cosy cabin with great lakeside view. Thank you!"

"Neighbouring properties made us very nervous to start with. No issues though and enjoyed our stay. Made the booking through a different website. Charged us for an extra night. Tried to communicate prior to check in. No luck and no reply. Overall experience very disappointing. Scared to use Bookabach or Bachcare again."

"From the moment you drive through the gates, this place welcomes you! Great layout, lovely linen, clean & fresh.Great views of the lake and easy access across the road. Nice indoor & outdoor areas for socialising. Would recommend."

"Great place, excellent deck and plenty of living space. Everything was tidy and well maintained. Great view out to the mountain and short walk to the lake. Highly recommended"

"Great location, great lake views and access, highly recommended."

"Great place to stay for summer."

"Stunning house, very clean, amazing views. Probably not ideal for young kids being right on the cliff. Also one of the bedrooms is located outside the house where young children might not feel comfortable sleeping. Gas ran out after our first night, Property Manager did sort the issue out but we had limited hot water & heating for half a day which isn't ideal, perhaps something that should be checked prior to guests arriving."

"We had a lovely family holiday at Lake Tarawera over Easter. The days were warm but the mornings and evenings a bit chilly, so the fire was very welcome to have. The house was very well appointed and there were plenty of activities on site like air hockey, table tennis and foosball. As well as being close to the lake for walks around the edge and not too far from the mountain bike park. Would definitely recommend"

"Beautiful view of the lake taken in from the super comfy armchairs. Enjoyed swimming, paddleboarding and relaxing by the water. Lucky enough to see a plane landing, the airport is very close but really quiet and not a disturbance at all. Short drive into town with loads of shops nearby too."

"Great place, comfortable beds, great location. Excellent facilities."

"Great size and spaces for being together and having space. Kitchen amazing. Loved outdoor spaces too and gardens, esp herbs. Love to come back!"

"Lovely spot. Brought our sail boat to the dock and did day trips to the hot pools. Soft water, lots of space. Calm and peaceful."

"Will book it again shortly. Great stay!"

"We enjoyed our stay in this property once the check in issues were sorted out. Book-a-bach dropped the ball with check-in which took over 2hrs and was not complete until the next morning. Having said that, all the issues we encountered were not the fault of the house, so as long as Book-a-Bach sorts these, then I would highly recommend this home. It is a good size, even with just 2 bedrooms, we had 4 adults and 4 kids (sleeping in the lounge on the couches) and it didn't feel too small, AMAZING...

"The most gorgeous spot on the lake with fab weather so made for a very relaxing long weekend"

"excellent"

"No breakfast option except for weekend. Was great property and very helpful staff! Would definitely stay again!"

"The property was cute and cosy. Pam and Neville are lovely and welcoming. The scenery is beautiful as is the bush track/walk nearby. "

"Overall very enjoyable and only hitch no gas for the BBQ, but felt maintenance had been let slip, lights in one bathroom didn't work, clothes dryer door latch broken, main doors to deck unable to be used, outdoor chair broken, coffee milk-frother agitator missing, broken tile in laundry floor, all minor other than the deck doors and could/should have been repaired before our stay."
