Gorgeous setting

Lake Rotoma is a pristine lake, msgical for water sports, kayaking and swimming. The bach on golden mile allowed us to make the most of the lake with its gorgeous views and accessibilty to the boat ramp. The bach was clean and cheerful carering for family group of adults well.

Relaxing getaway

The house is well equipped (although it did not have a coffee plunger) and there is no doubt the view is amazing. The gas heater did not work and so we had to rely on a small oil heater, we had 1 degree nights, so it battled to warm the place up. The stove top was a bit of a nightmare to get going - there were instructions, but it did not always do what it was supposed to do. Nowhere in the description, did it say the house is on a very busy road. This was a big downside for us, as there was no peace sitting outside in the sun, with trucks thundering past. Sorry, I hate to be negative, but we would not go again.

Beautiful spot

We loved it here, its a fantastic spot and has everything you need. We used the kayaks every day and spent time swimming, biking and hiking in the area and otherwise just soaked in the views from the deck. Thanks for having us :)

Perfect break away

What a great property to come to relax in and take in the breath taking views of the lake! Our family had a wonderful relaxing time away here. Bach had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Sue was great to communicate with. Even the lake being so high, we enjoyed exploring on the kayaks...thanks so much Sue and Dave for sharing your property..we loved it and will be back!!

Very nice location--easy to travel to all activity spots. Nice small and warm house, highly recommended. Even there is no internet, but that can keep the children out of all the devices.

Easter Fun

The bach is in a great location with easy access and had everything we needed for a great stay. We spent our days playing on the lake and then sat on the deck at night watching the sunset. It was a great way to spend Easter. Would definitely come back.

Homely and clean

We had a great stay in the main house and really appreciated the use of the kayaks. Unfortunately the bunk room was uninhabitable. The damp was so bad, making the air foul and unhealthy. Not surprising seeing the earth piled up against one wall. We pulled the bed/mattress into main house for daughter to sleep in hall but ended up having to change the bedding as the smell was so bad and set her off coughing the first night. Sorry. Otherwise was a lovely bach and extremely homely and welcoming. (Though a bit less air freshner would be good - crikey it was strong and took a while to get fresh air back in.) New neighbour Debbie was lovely.

This place was great and I'd certainly stay there again. It was unpretentious, had a great view and had everything we needed. The covered veranda/deck area was the perfect place to put the dogs. Very clean and comfortable.
