This is a great original kiwi bach for a relaxed family holiday. It is compact but had all that we required, with lots of space outside and easy walking distance to the lake.

The property was pretty basic but in a great location. Could have been cleaner.
Was generally good. Biggest issue was cleanliness. My daughter was quite shocked to find crumbs in her bed, sheets obviously not properly cleaned. Also, vacuuming of carpet areas not great either.

Very clean and in a great location just outside of Taupo and very close to the lake. It was a super wet and wild weekend when we were there and the heating and lights had helpfully been turned on for our arrival. A thoughtful touch.
