This was our second stay here and we were very happy to return. The new couch just makes this place super comfy and this is our ideal bach. Very close to the part of the lake we like hang, swim, walk and cycle. The bach is dog friendly and not far from the off leash area of the lake (3 Mile Bay). It is spacious with bedrooms upstairs and downstairs too.

The location is great and suited our group well in terms of size, especially the lounge area. The top bunk bed is only suitable for children as the ladder is very close to the wall.
Also, only 2 and a bit rolls of toilet paper were supplied for 11 people.

The house was very poorly serviced.The house is old and is very tired but that was accepted. What was not accepted was the very poor servicing. The supply of consumables (soaps, kindling etc) was very poor - what liquid soap there was in the main handbasin had even been diluted!!! Overall we were very disappointed.

A great sized property for a group of family/friends to meet up. Lovely location cloes to the lake and easy drving distance to everything in Taupo. Kitchen is well equipped if you are wanting to cook rather than eat out. Would definitely stay here in the future with another large group.
