Kaimanawa Forest Park beach rentals

House was lovely - warm, comfortable and worked wonderfully for our large group.Great for the kids and the adults! Had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Classic kiwi family bach right by the lake and far enough from the main road to be tranquil and peaceful. With a modern kitchen and a log burner the house was always pleasant and even though we had a lot of rain during our stay, we still had a great time.If you are a fishing person this is absolutely the spot for you, but we aren't and still very much enjoyed our stay. Some of the house is looking a little tired (new paint needed, some doors not closing properly, tattered curtains), but this is exactly as every kiwi family bach I have ever stayed at. So much more personality than the average accommodation out there. Being equidistant between Turangi and Taupō meant we could choose either direction for shopping or food, and the well equipped kitchen made cooking "at home" a breeze. I felt like the owners actually use the house, and that makes a real difference in terms of what is provided.I bet it's great in summer and I would definitely consider coming back at that time of year to take advantage of the lake activities. Even if it rains you can have fun trying to count all the fish paraphernalia in the house.

Thanks

My husbands grandparents built this Motuoapa holiday home in the mid 1950's. (Their photo is on the wall in the lounge) It was lovely for him and our family to spend a weekend there with a lot of reminiscing. It's changed some what over the years. It has a great location to the lake and walks in the area. We had 3 generations staying and it worked well with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. We will definately be back.

The batch has everything needed for a comfortable stay, and the village is lovely. We had a great time and our little pooch did too. Thanks!

Classic Kiwi bach in a lovely location.Great stay - thanks.

Loved our stay at this bach. Fully kitted out, super comfy, great communication with the owner, nice and close to the lake.
