Absolutely love staying at this bach. Stayed before and always stay for a week at a time. Sleepout is great as an overflow for the kids. Rich is awesome and always available.

Nice cottage in Okareka
Rich went out of his way to make sure our stay was smooth and to tell us about the area. The third bedroom sleep out is separate so it was not an option for our younger kids.

Carpet downstairs smelled damp, otherwise great property. Owners helpful.
Bach is nicely renovated and clean and has everything you need. Hosts are super friendly. Short drive from Rotorua and 5min walk from the lake. Can highly recommend staying here!
We loved our stay here and enjoyed every minute of it.
The place the located in the right place with the lake down the road and it was very warm.
Rich was very accomodating and very responsive. Thank you so much for being the bestest host.
Would recommend to anyone else and we will be back.
The inside is nicely presented, has a few things missing though, teaspoons for one?? Has great working kitchen. Inside beds were average, I would have said lumpy mattress in the one downstairs where I slept. For me this was not so great as I sleep on my stomach, others might be ok with it. Would be a great place in the summer, as nice deck with wonderful birdlife, we had about 7 Tuis in the morning. The rain created some outside issues, where the rusty guttering overflowed in places and this did make some noise in the evening. But what a lovely area away from so much but close at the same time. Thank you for accommodating us.
Thank you for the lovely peaceful stay. We enjoyed lots of clear lake swims and watching the birds in the kowhai tree above the deck. And so great NOT having a tv!!
The property was modern but with cottage charm. Flexible sleeping options. Loved the big deck. Section size was awesome. Already booked for another week.
Really lovely property, close to the lake but also close to the redwoods and town. Very handy. Had everything we needed but would have been nice to have a TV for night time chill.
Would recommend.
Easy communication and arrangements. Location 5 min drive from Redwoods absolutely ideal for mountain biking etc. 2 min from boat ramp too. Great place - lots of fun. Nice house, looks like a little bit of renovation finishing to be done. If you have little children, check that stairs have a kiddie gate fitted.
