Spacious With Great View!

Had everything we needed for our three night stay and was handy to the lake for a quick dip! We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the great views of the lake. The location was quiet with the walkway along the lake good for our morning walk. Private snd plenty of room for our group of 12. Would highly recommend 👌

Our stay at the bach was awesome to say the least. The Bach catered for all our needs. We were blown away by the facilities and the awesome views of Lake Taupo. Would definitely recommend these facilities to any of my colleagues, friends and family.
