Little gem in Kinloch

This ticks all the boxes, especially with young kids who love the bunks and proximity to the lake. We’ve stayed her for 2 years in a row now and we love sitting on the deck and listening to the whistling poplars at night. Really sets the tone for a lovely holiday.

Perfect little house.

We had a lovely stay. The owner was friendly and helpful and gave prompt replies. Super clean and well appointed little house. The sleepout and covered porch were perfect with having teens visit. Great parking. Well secured. 2min walk to the shop and lake. Will definitely stay again

A Real Gem

Very clean, tidy and warm. We appreciated having the fire and the heat pump on the colder mornings. Loved the location with Kinloch being close but not too close to Taupō. The General store did great coffee and food when we needed anything. A very rejuvenating stay and hope to come back soon.

A small unit on the back in a peaceful and private setting. Suitable for a couple or a small family. Walking distances to everything that Kinloch has to offer. Good communication with the owner. Easy check in and check out. We had a good time there. Thank you.

Amazing location + facilities

This property was amazing, incredible location just a really short stroll to the lake and the shop. House was overall really clean - the only minor detail was the duvets look like they could do with a refresh. Bathroom and kitchen were great. The extra little amenities that you have thought of - were incredible - we took as much as we could - but actually alot of the little extras were there - which was so helpful. Added bonus with the off street gated parking for the jetskis! We will absolutely stay again!
