Piarere cottages

Lovely comfortable house in a great location with everything you need. Very helpful hosts who go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable.

Had a lovely, tranquil stay. Perfect location for watching Maadi rowing regatta. The homemade muffins were a bonus. Thank you.

We chose this property for its ideal location near the lake, as we were attending a national sporting event, and the view over Lake Karapiro from the porch, lounge, and bedroom was absolutely stunning. The apartment itself is modern, well-maintained, and stylish, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. It accommodates four people with two double beds, making it perfect for small groups or families.While the apartment’s small kitchen is well-equipped, it could benefit from a hot plate or an air fryer to make cooking more convenient. For now, you'll need to rely on the BBQ (Weber) outside or the microwave for prepared meals.One area for improvement is communication from Bachcare. We didn’t receive the gate and accommodation codes until we were already on the way, which led to some confusion as I found myself at the gate searching for a contact number. Thankfully, the owner was on-site (though he’s not always present) and was quick to provide the necessary codes and some helpful tips for entering the property.Overall, the apartment's modern design and amenities, combined with the breathtaking views, made for a memorable stay.
