Quintessential, cosy Kiwi bach, very well set up and resourced especially the kitchen. Modern bathroom, very comfortable beds, compact living space easily offset by the large covered outdoor living area, bonus to be able to use the kayaks. Hard to fault and we would happily come back sometime soon!

We had a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable stay at this lovely Kiwi bach!From the start, Mel was an exceptional host - incredibly responsive, welcoming, and helpful, making the entire experience effortless and memorable. The bach itself is cozy and well-equipped with everything you need, featuring a warm vibe, a great outdoor area, and truly stunning views of Lake Tarawera from the deck. Having kayaks available was a fantastic bonus, and we had so much fun taking them out on the water.Thank you so much, Mel, for having us. We couldn’t recommend this classy little Kiwi bach enough to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed getaway!
