Angela was a great host. We enjoyed our stay very much, lovely and clean cottage. Perfect location for us being up for a football tournament, we were allowed to access the playing grounds through the gate in the garden, very accessible. Close to the lake and township too. Definitely recommend this place and will come again.

We loved our couple of weeks at Totara Bach. The property is exactly as described. We stayed in winter and really enjoyed the fire. The bach is well heated and very comfortable. There's no dining table, rather gather around the kitchen island.Very comfy beds, great shower, nice hosts who live next door.

Home away from Home

This property made you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. We were greeted by Angela, who gave us a few dining ideas and other information. The home is very well stocked and we enjoyed the position a short drive from the busy centre. The beds were really comfortable and it was a pleasure to stay in this lovely home. We would happily return:-)
