About this property
STUNNING VIEWS, PRIVATE SETTING. Paradise found, all the comforts of home.
We have had this property for over 20 years and now we share it with you. Elevated and set well back from the road allows total privacy and child safe. Uninterrupted views across stunning Lake Rotoma. Relax on the huge deck which has PVC blinds allowing for all weather living. Plenty of lawn for fun and games, when it gets too hot send the kids to the tree hut they'll love it. The trout fishing on Rotoma is legendary. Try fly fishing off the shore or take the boat out in the early morning and watch them jump. Wake to the morning bird-song, bring the cuppa' back to bed and watch the boats and skiers enjoy the still morning waters over the lake. To keep you occupied there is TV (who needs it on holiday - but it's there for those occasional wet days) , stereo, games and plenty of books. We have just installed a new kitchen, bathroom and outside loo. Maximum number guests is 7.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels)

Thank you Maxim, we would be happy to have you back. 😊
The house had beautiful views and was an easy walk down the driveway to a nice beach area. Loved the nearby Soda Springs. Truly relaxing holiday at a fantastic spot. Surrounded by bush and birds but still sunny. Thanks!

Thank you, we would love to have you stay again anytime. You left everything in excellent order throughout.
This house was really nice. There were a lot of beds which fit our group of 10 people well. The views over the lake were stunning and the communication with the owner went really well. Highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning
Wonderful place, fabulous amenities, close to everything that mattered. Hidden gem, don’t tell everyone or we’ll never get back there🤣
We had a great stay here, there was so much room for group meals and just hanging out. We had 9 guys so I was worried about the hot water running out, but that didn't happened at all. The host was also amazingly fast with her reply's to my questions. Would definitely stay there again.
