Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tim Mahoney
We live in Auckland and love our retreat in Rotorua.
After busy weeks working in business in Auckland, it's always great to leave the hustle and bustle of the big city behind and recharge the batteries.
The lakeside bach is great whether you're going to Rotorua for an event, visiting family, mowing the lawns, or just taking a break. Every visit is a treat.
Now, we are offering the bach so others can enjoy its charms.
We greatly enjoy seeing locals, out-of-towners, and overseas visitors enjoying their say at Old Charm.
We also enjoy sharing the hidden treasures and places to visit that most people do not see or find while in Rotorua.
We take great pleasure in the feedback and dialog from all travelers and strive to ensure that all visitors enjoy their stay with us.

Why they chose this property
The treasures are the peace, tui singing, dragonflies, wood pigeons, and incredible lake views.
What makes this property unique
We love the unique design of the house. It reminds us of being back in Sweden many years ago.
Its open plan on the upper and lower floors is more like a Kiwi house design.
We've kept the family atmosphere here with board games, music CDs, movies, a BBQ, and old-fashioned decor.
