About this property

Lake view, lake level, lake side

Wake up and smell the fresh lake and mountain air from this comfortable and cosy original kiwi bach. Lovely lake views from the kitchen and lounge with a safe, sandy, swimming beach right at the end of the lawn.

Heat pump ensures the house is nice and warm in the winter and air conditioned in the summer to keep you cool if required.

If you want a holiday where you can fish, waterski, snow ski, swim, close to great walking tracks, ten minutes from hot pools, get some peace and quiet, do lots of relaxing and reading - then look no further.

Plenty of room for tents on the front lawn and parking for a boat and a couple of cars. Boat ramp at the end of the driveway.

Very quiet lake house
Great view and access to the swimming beach. A little rustic but that made it all the more cozy. If the kids are looking forward to wifi there is none available so more dedicated family time.

Perfectly placed Bach
We loved our stay in Kuratau - being right next to the swimming area and boat ramp was fantastic - our family could park at the house and walk down to the ski area to meet us at the boat and we could just pop out and swim whenever the heat got too much. It meant we really got to enjoy making use of the lake. Would love to come back!

Fabulous
Great kiwi bach. Excellent location - spent many hours either on the decking or down by the lake which the property borders on. Would love to come back some time with the grandchildren as they'd love it. So close to jetty that all the kids jump off. Such fun!

A very comfortable place
A restful place for 2 very tired people. The Freeview tv didn’t work but all else was fab. VRBO sent us a CheckIn process… the codes sent kept coming faster than 15 minutes as was meant to be so the CheckIn emailed code was a disastrous experience.
