Absolutely amazing stay! Lovely views, and was even left with a lovely wine!! Thank you so much, my partner and I especially enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck, and waking up to that beautiful picture on the sunrise.

Fabulous stay
This was a return visit and we enjoyed it even more than the 1st time. The property is fantastic, plenty of space and everything you need is there including Kayak which got plenty of use by the teenagers. Tim gave us loads of local activity recommendations which were new and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days and will definitely return again

Family Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this little piece of paradise. Great host and we loved the quirkiness of the house and tranquillity of location. Bach has everything you need and more! Close to the lake for a nip across to the hot pools, trout fishing and even a private island to dig your own hot water pool and explore on the kayaks.

It has everything you need to stay entertained and it's nice to be in a quiet spot just outside of Rotorua. Beautiful staircase and well laid out sleeping areas. Our staffy dog loved the open space to explore as well.

Lovely quiet getaway
A Great location in the bush, would be great for kids a big open field next to the house with wallabies at night, easy access to the beach. At this time of year it is easy walking access through the lake (shallow) to the hot water beach island. Good view of the lake in the evening. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
