A beautiful home away from home on the lake

Kick back and relax at the' Bach on Lakefront property. Restful and healing place for those needing to get away from the city.
Sitting on the gorgeous Golden Mile, the baches consist of a modernized dwelling and two separate sleepouts' that add class. Set on a large section (1171m2 more or less) the property has heaps of room for extra campervans, petanque, glam campers, kayaks, boats, and much more!! Just spill out on the large deck. This is bound to attract the water lovers, with its proximity to a unique trout fishing experience, the local boat ramp, hot pools (5kms up the road), and cool drinks at the Old Trout Cafe
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and an electric kettle.

Great Kiwi Bach

The property had great lake access with it being across the road. The two kayaks were a nice bonus for the kids offering a bit extra for the days on the lake. The house is your typical bach which reflects the affordable cost however it has all necessities and was comfortable

Great family bach

My family and I had a great stay here, it was very tidy and great location. Was awesome to wake up and go on the beautiful lake. The photos on the listing do not do it justice. The only problem we had was the shower, it was scolding hot, almost unbearable and very low pressure but other than that we had an amazing time.

Locked out, No sheets and towels for a $75 linen fee

On arrival the access instructions were not provided and we found ourselves locked out for about an hour. Fortunately the property owner was quick to message back and apologetic. The property description does not have clear instructions with regard to linen provision, I checked this prior to packing to come to the property but I had been charged a $75 linen fee on top of cleaning and service fees so assumed that linen sheets and towels would be provided. These were not provided and covid was given as the reason. The linen fee was not refunded. The property is in a great location but the house and outbuildings are quite damp and have a strong damp smell. We made the most of this stay but overall the experience was poor and the house was clean and tidy but not a great value stay.

Perfect spot

Awesome property located in the perfect location along the golden mile. We moored the boat right in front of the property whilst our stay and only had to walk across the road whenever we wanted to take it out. Fantastic!!!! Highly recommended!

It was amazing

Everything was good, the view , barbecue, there was enough space, so on. There were two problems 1- the toilet was not cleaned. 2- the water in the shower was too hot that made it almost unusable. Other things were good.
