The bach is well set up and has the charm of a well loved family home. The heat pumps and fireplace were a real bonus as we had amazing frosts with snow on the mountains. Fiona is prompt and helpful. We love being able to stay here - a special place.

Loved our stay!

We loved staying in this house, lots of space, well set up with wood stove & firewood, heaters, blankets, and well-set up kitchen. Felt very homey, loved being able to walk across the road to the lake side. Great place for our 3 families to meet in the middle of the North Island. Thank you hosts!!

Great location and house

Great location, not too far from Taupo central and literally stone's throw from the lake. Well-kept clean house that can easily accommodate a large family. Two living spaces to relax in with plenty of DVDs to keep young ones occupied. Accommodating hosts, easy to communicate and no dramas.

Lakeside get-away

Great property with good views across Lake Taupo. All facilities you need for a sneaky get-away. Proximity to state highway makes for easy access with the only downside being the road noise from passing trucks.
