Thanks for your review. I am pleased you enjoyed the house over Christmas.
We love the views and just relaxing there.
We removed all the recycling left behind and also have couriered the item left by your daughter.
Cheers
I am pLeased you found the house excellent. However it was disappointing you departed and left lights on, windows open, bedding on the floor and food in the fridge and wet towels on the washing machine I assume you must have left in a hurry and did not do a final check. Thankfully our cleaner was coming in the same day.
Robyn communicated promptly abf in a friendly manner, she provided all the info you needed to.start your holiday at her place. Great place to stay for families, fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Great view of Lake Taupo from upstairs and on the upper deck, plenty of space to chill put both inside and out, very close easy walk to lakefront and marina.Kinloch is a fabulous place to stay if you like biking, hiking or watersports, the geberal store close by is well stocked with the basics and does amazing takeaways which you can enjoy over the riad at the beach or reserve.
Awesome location, has everything you could need would highly recommend taking a visit and stay here

Just had a wonderful 3 nights at Cedar View in Kinloch. The location was great - just back a short stroll from the lake.The house was warm and sunny. Lake views.Cedar View has everything to make your stay memorable and happy. Well worth booking .!Contact with the host was quick and efficient.
A beautiful and comfortable bach. The setting and proximity to the lake was wonderful. Kinloch is a magic place and we all returned home missing it.Robyn was a great host and we really appreciate that she allowed our minature schnauzer to stay with us. Excellent resources and facilities within the bach and all in good condition. We had no problems creating a Christmas dinner for our family of four. I would definitely love to come back. Thank youThe Catt family.

About the host
Hosted by Robyn Molony
We are a retired professional couple with two adult daughters. After living in Christchurch for twenty three years we have recently moved to Hawkes Bay. We are now so lucky to be able to spend more time at Kinloch, however we also enjoy sharing our lovely home with others. Kinloch is a special place where we all love to return to. Special memories are made here - hours in and on the lake doing an array of water sports, boating and fishing; walking, cycling, soaking in nearby thermal pools, day trips to the mountains or simply relaxing with family and friends. We are grateful to have the support of a local lady who cleans the house between guests and friends and family who frequently check our house to ensure it is kept to the high standard we aspire to, to ensure our guests have a very special stay.
Why they chose this property
Kinloch has been our family holiday base since the early 1980's, travelling from Christchurch every year to enjoy summers with extended family in a bach owned by my late parents. Wanting to have our own permanent holiday base, we were very excited to become the proud owners of this unique house and maximize its potential. We have created a very comfortable, easy to maintain holiday home, which exudes a relaxed holiday ambiance every time we walk through the front door. As we cannot always be at "CedarView at Kinloch" we love the opportunity to share our piece of paradise with others.
What makes this property unique
A breathtaking view over the lake from the upstairs open plan living spaces and even the kitchen sink! A super efficient wood burner for those who love the ambience of a fire. and a new heat pump installed in the downstairs hallway effectively warms the bedrooms. Relaxed seating areas to enjoy upstairs or downstairs in a very sheltered paved garden. Fully fenced / secure section where children can safely play. Paved areas for off street parking An easy 3-4 minute walk to the marina and lake edge. Spaces to be together or to get away from others ......
