"Good for price"

"Great cost house. Plenty of space and great scenery."

"Third time we have used this bach, and totally recommend it, everything you need is provided, and it is always extremely clean. The views of Lake Taupo are a huge bonus, and the host is fabulous."

"Great property - clean and interesting, with a very responsive host when the door wouldn't open."

"Easy self check in. Kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking and baking plus air fryer and slow cooker and rice cooker. Great communal areas including outdoor areas which were usable in the bright winter days we were blessed with. Good showers one upstairs bathroom and one downstairs bathroom. Bunk room is downstairs and rest of the bedrooms are upstairs. Light and Bright decor. Great comfy pillows. Many gorgeous wool blankets. We didn’t end up using the wood burner but there was plenty of wood. The house stayed very cosy with just the heat pump run in the morning and later evening. The house is a sun trap in the day. "

"Classis Kiwi 'bach', plenty of beds for everyone to squeeze in and a great place for family memories"
