Great family getaway

We had a fun extended family catch up, a perfect spot to walk/bike down to the lake or store multiple times a day. The house was a typical lived in bach feel and had most things needed for a comfortable stay for a larger group.

Great getaway

Close to lake and facilities - easy to come and go. Deck area is great. Everything as advertised but would be easier to park if the boat wasn't in the driveway, and two bathrooms advertised, no hot water in the sleepout. Still 5 stars.

Perfect Location

There was 6 of us that stayed and the house was just perfect for us. Private setting and loved the short walk to the lake. Travelled into Taupo a few times which is only like a twenty minute trip. Perfect location for a weekend getaway or longer stay. Would definitely recommend this property.

We truly fell in love with this house! It was so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland! The Bach had everything we needed and more! We have a Bach down on the esplanade but we are really looking forward to staying at your place again!

Weekend break at Kinlock

Great location in Kinlock, requiring a shortish walk to the water. Cozy lounge, kitchen and dining area with enough beds for 2 adults, 3 teens and 2 children. Great pool table in garage for the wet weekend. Would rent this property again.
