About this house rental

Enjoy a classic Kiwi holiday in our 1950s lake house.

Sunny indoor and outdoor spaces for one or two families or a group of friends. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms makes it comfortable for 8 people. Pet friendly.

This magic spot will remind you of how Kiwi holidays used to be. Relax at home, head to the beach in 2 minutes for safe, clean and quiet swimming, or follow the beach path to world famous fishing on the Waitahanui river. Free wifi. Sunset over the lake is not to be missed! We've even chopped firewood if you want a cosy winter evening by the fire.

- Five Mile Bay is close to SH1 and there can be traffic noise especially during busy holiday season like Christmas and New Years.

- Pets are welcomed, just let us know when you book. Smoking outside only please

- Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to just tidy the house and do the dishes before you leave. We also have a mandatory cleaners fee of $100.

- Don’t forget your own linen (towels/sheets/pillowcases).

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Clean, tidy and plenty of room for everyone. Property owner was super easy to deal with and really appreciated that they left some firewood so we could have a fire as the weather wasn't the best. Will definitely stay here again.

Good times

Good times

I’m not going to lie, I was a little surprised at the no frills aspect of this place. Don’t get me wrong, not snobby but I definitely think a wide lends was used when the photos were done. Lovely pics and a huge bonus that dogs were allowed and confined safely out in back yard. But it was quite run down - beds not good, not comfy. Furniture in Bedrooms is falling apart condition. Ensuite and bathrooms are so run down and a disappointment as they were as clean as they could be, just old and well used. The fire however was amazing - and we did have a good time regardless of the bedrooms not being as warm and comfortable. Bbq had to be cleaned prior to use - and only had enough in gas bottle for the short steak bbq that night, which was ok for us as only wanted one nights use of it. I’m sure that could of been fixed with a call to the owner but the fact we had to clean bbq for use is not what I would of thought expected. Good communication from owners prior and on departure. Overall, a good stay but definitely some Reno’s would make this place a stand out.

Excellent value for money, looked just like the photos. Clean and tidy with all amenities. We had a small dog and loved the very dog proof fence. Easy access to the lake was a bonus. Lots of space for the family to spread out. Only one concern was the out door furniture a little worse for wear. Pam

All you need in a bach

The bach was well equipped with everything you would need for your break. The BBQ are was nice, we had a couple of nights sitting around the fire. Less than a minutes stroll down to the lake for a swim was great for the kids and adults alike. The motorway is loud - but this is stated in the description.

A good 'old school' type bach with all the requirements, amenities, plus...

The bach is tired and needs some updating and maintenance. It wasn't as clean as it could be and needs a super spruce up in cleanliness throughout. The provided basic linen, ie.covered duvets and pillows need a serious wash, dry clean, as do the cushions in the living area. The main bathroom toilet smelt of stale urine. We suggest that an automatic dishwasher be installed in the kitchen. The outside garden, grounds need serious pruning, weeding, etc. The main gate does not swing and was hard work having to lift and open.Our communication with the owner and his lovely Dad was excellent and extremely helpful at all times; thank you so much. Overall a good place to stay for a holiday break.
