Host failed to mention the Bach is on a logging road which was actively being logged. The road was closed (we had to arrange with the logging crew to let us through) and power was cut one day. We were woken up to logging operation noise and the Bach shaking as the trees were felled across the road. I feel lucky that we brought our 4wheel drive truck as my car would’ve most likely gotten stuck on the road (after 3 days of logging there were deep ruts and a lot of mud on the road). Host was kind when we checked in but when we brought up the issues he didn’t respond and ignored my texts telling me he would respond later. Extra costs were not visible of our side of the site which led to a lot of confusion when we were charged and extra person (the Bach sleeps 6, we were 5 but he says the fee is for 4 people).

Incredibly beautiful views and such a lovely spot to unwind by the lake. We really enjoyed making use of the kayaks stored in the garage – a perfect way to get out on the water. The owner is genuinely friendly and goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome and well looked after.There are plenty of games available, which was fantastic for us travelling with two little kids – they had a great time. The location also works really well as a base for exploring Rotorua, the geothermal areas, or even heading out for some rafting adventures.Like many places surrounded by nature, you might come across the odd mouse or spider – all part of the experience. The terrace and balcony could do with a little bit of TLC, but overall it’s a warm, relaxed, and enjoyable place to stay.

A peaceful spot with a stunning view in a house straight out of a fairytale! So many cool things to do and see nearby or you can just stay in, play some board games and enjoy the vista. We found this property to be clean, tidy, and with everything we needed with some vintage charm. Great communication too - Tim was super helpful with tips. We can tell this is a much loved family home as well. Thank you!

What an incredible unique bach! Loved the location overlooking the lake and the house was so cozy. Communication and check in was so easy. If you're visiting from overseas, arrive while the sun is up! The road in might make you nervous (you'll be fine!)

Beautiful paradise

My friend and I stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip. We couldn’t have been happier. The views alone are worth it. We got to cook full meals as we watched the sun rise and set. We paddleboarded to different hot water spots and to bird watch. You could even walk in the water to a secluded beach where the tuis and fantails were everywhere! We loved this place and are so grateful we got to experience it would highly recommend!
