Relax, Unwind or go Hard on the Lake - Just a 3-min Walk From our Basic Bach

Our basic bach is just that..... basic, no extras to charge for here! To keep costs down we don't supply any linen/towels - just bring your own. Don't mistake basic for unloved, we love it's simplicity and hope you will too.

Located on Rangatira Drive, our basic bach is close to local amenities. 5-min walk to the Four Square, Cafe or Fish & Chip shop. Pop to the lake - a short 3-min walk. Great boat ramp to easily load in and out or if it's busy park the trailer at the bach and you're golden.

Enjoy any number of activities ranging from a round of golf at the scenic local course, to hiking and biking along the Waikator River Trails.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.
