Fabulous place to stay for the whole family

We all enjoyed our stay at this fabulous house.It was clean, well equipped, with plenty of room for all of us. The nearby playground was a bonus and the safe beach and lake right in front was amazing. We had one wet day but there was plenty of games and movies to keep us occupied. Great communication as well. Thanks

Rotoiti Bach

Bach would suit large family and we were only two. No internet but a neighbour kindly loaned us a box. We did not bring our sky box with us and could only get TV 2. We did not use the BBQ but the Gas Bottle was left on and the left hand burner does not seem to work. The decks were extensive and good but could use a warning strip on the outer edge to prevent stumbling. Ironically the invoice shows a cleaning charge but we did the necessary to leave the Bach clean and tidy as per the instructions. In summary we enjoyed our time there and Madelaine was very helpful

Amazing location highly recommend

This property is absolutely fantastic !!! The location is the best on the lake. House was comfortable and the front and rear decking was a major bonus. Plenty of seating with all day sun and the view across the lake and watching the sunsets was spectacular. Ideal spot to park the boat and jet skis with plenty of parking at the lake front straight across the road. Short stroll to a beautiful bush walk, playground and public toilets. We will definitely be returning for another summer adventure as this property ticks all the boxes with everything you need.

Break Away!

Booking online was quick and easy to do! The price we paid for the space and the amount of beds provided was worth it. A nice place and suitable with almost everything we needed was there however, I think providing tea towels would be easier and can be easily collected after each stay since there is a charge for cleaning. We thought some bath mats should be supplied also, to use in both bathrooms. There was one bathroom with just a bath in there? Any thoughts about installing a shower-head over this bath so there are more options, for both bathrooms to be used instead of lining up for the one shower-especially if you have more than 3 staying. Just a suggestion.. And lastly, a heads up about the trout flies would've been nice to know before we had arrived. We live in a city and not near a lake, so we had no idea what they were at first (thank you neighbours) but we freaked out when we saw them mainly in the bathrooms and kitchen. Apparently they come in at night (in their thousands) and they are attracted by light. They look like mosquitoes but they are harmless and they don't bite. We had to clean them up on our first night and the other two mornings when we awoke-not impressed!

Beautiful location, friendly host, but house misrepresented.

The views were beautiful and the host was great at communication and flexibility of arrival / departure time. We thought we had booked a 4 bedroomed/3 bathroom property. It was a poor description. The house had 2 real bed rooms inside and an open plan room that had beds, fridge, cupboard for kitchen and the only access way to back deck and sleep out which slept 3, but that was dark and airless. That room also had a servery from kitchen, so no privacy at all. One bathroom had a bath and basin and the other was a toilet off a very cluttered laundry where you had to wash hands in laundry sink. Only shower was in the very tiny ensuite (?.) bedside the double bed in the open plan room. Was difficult with 5 adults, don’t know how you would manage with the 12 advertised the house could take. We left a full day earlier than we paid for after discovering a dirty fat/ food pan in the oven. Every cupboard in the bedroom was full of bedding and clutter. Top bunk in one room was piled with bedding with nowhere to put it. After paying premium rates because of the lack of bailable accommodation that weekend we were extremely disappointed.

Peaceful lake holiday

Older well maintained bach with great flexibility with sleeping arrangements. Easy to accommodate our family and friends. Has everything you need and great views. Great way to start the day having breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake. Then as the day warmed up to be able to wander across the quiet road to the lake for a swim, kayak or watersports. Great to have easy access to the boat ramp and bushwalks. Madeleine was easy to communicate with, responding promptly.

Cant beat this for location

A lovely spot for anyone wanting easy and quick access to the boat ramp - its simply a 20 second walk from the doorstep and just across the road to the lake. Excellent for families as swimming is great in this spot. Well equipped property and spotlessly clean. Highly recommend. Owners were wonderful and very easy to deal with and prompt replies.

About the host

Hosted by Madeleine

We love being a host as we love other families enjoying the lake as much as we do. Please leave us some feedback on our page - we take delight in hosting and love hearing when guests have had a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

We're an outdoors family who love being by the water - be it the lake or the ocean. We chose this area as we have the lake and boat ramp on our doorstep which enables us to capitalize on good weather and be on the lake skiing, fishing, visiting the hot pools or just having a drink at the Okere Falls store (all within boating distance) in no time at all. We also enjoy being out in the country but only a 25 minute drive to the city and a half hour drive to the famous mountain bike park!

What makes this property unique

We have a large section, plenty of room for tents, cars and boats. We are fenced out the back to cater for fury friends to come along too however this is at the owner's discretion.
