Everything was good. It was a great location on the lake with great views. It’s peaceful and the beds are also comfortable. The driveway is a bit steep but it’s fine once you drive it. Would stay there again.

Perfect family holiday

Perfect Kiwi bach for a family holiday. Lake access and shallow water were just right for littlies to develop water confidence, while the jetty was ideal for daytime boat mooring. The sleepout was a very convenient feature. We hope to return.

Amazing Family getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and will absolutely be back. The house was clean and tidy and well stocked with everything we needed! So much space for the kids to enjoy with plenty of time spent having fun in the water! It is worth noting that if you are coming with a boat come prepared to anchor this away from the jetty, the handy information provided when we arrived mentioned the owner’s preference to use the jetty for drop off/pick ups only.

Perfect for Family Wedding occasion

We rented this Bach for family members to stay in while attending a family wedding. The close proximity to our Bach made it the perfect place for them to be based at. They enjoyed the Bach’s lake front location and the comfortable layout of the Bach for a group of adults to stay out. The big deck was well used as the weather was superb.

Great kiwi bach

Great bach is idyllic spot! FYI you need to bring your own sheets/towels/linen. This is at the bottom of the check in dets but not obvious enough..
