Fantastic Getaway Bach
We loved our stay at this bach. It was exactly as described in the profile. It is very close to the lake shore and had everything we needed - even baking tins and mixer etc to bake some scones. We really enjoyed the spa pool as a special treat in the evenings, and the outdoor fairy lights give the property a cosy feel at night. The only downside was that the next door neighbours decided to burn plastics in their backyard and had their boom box on full volume for some days of our stay (school holidays) - we didn't dare approach them. Thank you for an amazing time - we would love to return.

perfect spot for winter break too!
We had a very good time this Matariki holiday weekend, the house is very clean, with very good comfortable beds and couches, a wood burner en a fully stocked kitchen. We of course enjoyed 3 nights in the spa, just relaxing after the river walks we had done. It was super fun exploring this area we had never been, with the Waikato river trail and investigating the Maraetai and Waipapa dams and the lake. So I can highly recommend a stay here!!! Thanks so much for having us stay!

Quirky retro cottage for family (plus dog)
We needed two doubles and a single, and a place for our small dog, to stay and this fitted the bill, half an our drive from Tokoroa for an extended family Xmas. Good size for a small family. Functional kitchen and an excellent shower. Cosy lounge with lots of fishing memorabilia. Dining table is outside only. Large outside deck. Very sunny, but with limited shade for the non-sunlovers amongst us. Glimpse of lake only when standing in kitchen, but a short 2 minute walk to lakefront reserve, with golfcourse, frisbee golf and a children's playground. The security system and fully fenced property were reassuring 'extras', plus the spa was ready for use on arrival. :)
