Perfect place to stay. Had everything we needed for a lovely couple of days away and was relaxing, quiet and cosy with the fire going while enjoying the views. Would definitely love to come back.
Loved, staying here with our friends, so relaxing and reminded me of family holidays.Would love to take our kids next time.So peaceful and cominication with Host was easy.
A beautiful spot with a lovely view. The cozy fireplace, relaxing bath, and quality carpet and wood surroundings made it feel warm and inviting. The kitchen was also excellent – well-equipped and perfect for cooking. Highly recommend!
It was a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with our furry companions.
We had a fantastic weekend, staying here with our dogs and couldn't have asked for a better location. The view was absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking scenery both during the day and at night. The location was ideal, with plenty of beautiful walking trails nearby that we thoroughly enjoyed exploring.
Sitting on the balcony watching the sun and fog lift every morning was just what we needed. I recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet getaway where you are still close to the action.
Beautiful location, fantastic place with a real kiwi batchy feel. Easy to sit and relax and just enjoy the view without having to leave.
Perfect get-away
We had a great family getaway. We took our boat and the access to lake was handy and we were able to moor our boat out front of the property. The little beach was great for the children.
Overall fantastic place to relax and have fun. Host John was quick to respond to us.
We have always admired this bach and finally got to stay. Beautiful spot, house has everything and the bonus of a fire. Absolutely loved and enjoyed this trip. We will be back 😊
I have stayed before at this beautiful place. My family loved it, so much so we stayed an extra night. The house has everything you could need. The log fire is great, very cosy on winter days. The dogs couldn't believe their luck!
The house was in a wonderful location in a quiet area with lovely views of the lake. You had use of a dinghy. The beds we used were a bit old & probably need replacing, although the view from the bedroom was wonderful and it was a good as ized room. The tumble dryer was broken and unplugged and put to one side when we arrived, fortunately there was a drying rack we were able to use. You need to provide your own bed linen for this property. We bought our own linen to avoid the 120 surcharge requested by the owner for providing linen & towels for 2 people. This property is in a wonderful location, is very well equipped and has plenty of space. The drive is quite tight, but there is ample parking for 1-2 cars by the house. I would recommend this property for a family holiday.
Amazing location and weather for our stay. Loved waking up to the sunrise each day. John was amazing to deal with. Thankyou for sharing your bach with us.
