Whareroa Bach
Absolutely loved the location. So quiet with a lovely view. A pleasant walk to the lake. Nice sandy beaches which were not busy, and the lake is so nice to swim in. Also enjoyed the DVD collection.

The property has lovely lake views and lovely outdoor living and is a short walk to the lake. Overall it is very comfortable, nice and light and with good heating if you need it. It had everything that we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Family Holiday
We are a family of 5 and spent 10 nights at this property in January. Whareroa is a sleepy backwater, 15 mins from Omori/Kuratau. It was extremely quiet even in peak holiday season. Bach has lake views and comfortable beds. Kitchen is very basic - suggest bring a good knife and frying pan. Great shower (though you have to bail it out a little after use bc of position of plughole) Broadband limited bc on rural broadband service. Owners were responsive to problems w TV access by lifting requirement to limit internet use, which was appreciated. Heatpump/air conditioning not functioning, but we didn’t need to use either during our stay. All in all, good value for money in a pretty special part of NZ.

Thanks for coming to stay in Whareroa, we had the air conditioning repaired and it is back up and running. We've also replaced the Freeview box. We'll take your other feedback on board to make some improvements. We hope you'll come and visit Whareroa again one day.

The property was a great place to 'get away from it all'. It was well provided with dvd's and games etc, thank you :-). There were food staples in the cupboard and plenty of bedding. Very, very good. The only issue we had was actually finding the place - the numbering is not very visible from the road and particularly with the dimming light of day!
