About this property

Taupo Retro Bach - A true kiwi Bach, great location

Just 250m from the lakefront reserve at Rainbow Point, Three Mile Bay, this 1970's classic is a delight. Nestled in a quiet cul de sac and bathed in all day sun, this iconic piece of Kiwiana offers all the charms of 1970's family holiday fun - deck, BBQ and table tennis table - awesome!

Easy to find, and easy to relax, this property features items of original designer furnishings from the 50's, 60's and 70's. If you are a fan of mid-century design, this wee Bach will impress.

A lovely homely 1970's property, with a touch of old, comfortable, new - a bit of a mix and match really! It is NOT a modern luxury home - it is nearly 50 years old with precious classic furniture from the mid-century. It is a privately owned holiday home that we like to share with others - enjoy! 1 queen bed, 2 single beds upstairs. Downstairs - three single beds (external access only). Sleeps 7 total.

Access is available to the two floors of the house, carport and grounds. Three single beds, laundry, table tennis table, books and games are downstairs in the rumpus room - access to this is via external stairs i.e. NO internal access to this room. No access to the garage/boatshed.

Typically a very quiet area, not a party place really!

Not suitable for small children due to large windows, not fully fenced, balcony and external stairs.

Fire is not available.
No Wi-Fi.
The couch in the lounge does NOT fold out into a bed!
Furnishing are original designer pieces from the 50's, 60's and 70's - we ask that you treat them with the respect they deserve.
