Styled with comfort and relaxation in mind, a cosy living room with picture windows is sure to drench this spot in sunlight on a sunny summers' day. Altering the temperature to your taste into the colder months is no issue either, with the wood-burning fireplace offering a cosy winter ambience.

Great place to spend a low key 40th with a small amount of good friends
Great location
Private
Very quiet
Close enough to taupo to commute for dinner outings etc
Surrounding baches appeared to be holiday homes so we mostly had the place to ourselves to sit around the fire and enjoy our friends company without annoying any neighbour's
Loved it

Quintessential Bach Experience
Fantastic location in iconic NZ bach settlement. Accomodation basic but totally adequate. Ours was a mixed family group celebrating a 75th birthday, the bach offered something for everyone.

The description of the house contraveins the fair trading act. Sleeps 12 however dining room tiny
Terrible, all rooms in clouding bathrooms only have outside access, lots of lights not working, one broken. Smashed heated towel rail , only 4 basic school type dining chairs , no lounge curtains, curtains missing in garage converted bedroom with no ceiling, very overrated and fat to expensive for what you get. House was warm and beds comfortable. Would not recommend to anyone!!
