Sue is a fantastic host. The check in and check out info was really helpful. The property is great with a fantastic view of the lake. The boat ramp is less than a minute away and we also used the bach mooring when we came back from skiing for lunch. Sue also left us some coffee pods to use in the coffee machine which was a nice touch. Definitely recommend this property for families looking to relax close to the lake.

We loved it here, its a fantastic spot and has everything you need. We used the kayaks every day and spent time swimming, biking and hiking in the area and otherwise just soaked in the views from the deck. Thanks for having us :)

Next to SH 30 across the lake. 45 mins to tarawera fall and 15 mins to soda spring . No internet, but we felt like we needed a break from our phone. We went for a row with kayak. We will be back again next summer .

super lake front location

Very nice location--easy to travel to all activity spots. Nice small and warm house, highly recommended. Even there is no internet, but that can keep the children out of all the devices.

Easter Fun

The bach is in a great location with easy access and had everything we needed for a great stay. We spent our days playing on the lake and then sat on the deck at night watching the sunset. It was a great way to spend Easter. Would definitely come back.

Homely and clean

We had a great stay in the main house and really appreciated the use of the kayaks. Unfortunately the bunk room was uninhabitable. The damp was so bad, making the air foul and unhealthy. Not surprising seeing the earth piled up against one wall. We pulled the bed/mattress into main house for daughter to sleep in hall but ended up having to change the bedding as the smell was so bad and set her off coughing the first night. Sorry. Otherwise was a lovely bach and extremely homely and welcoming. (Though a bit less air freshner would be good - crikey it was strong and took a while to get fresh air back in.) New neighbour Debbie was lovely.

Sorry to hear the bunkhouse wasn't up to your expectations, there has been so much rain ..its very hard to manage ..as it is a bunkhouse with not much light going in, because its in the bush. We have a new dehumidifier & oil diffuser to help for winter ..our cleaner always takes great care of the linen & commented on the amount of towels & linen used . We are glad you enjoyed your stay ,otherwise, as it is a piece of paradise that we let guests use our Bach.
