About this property

Ogilvie House, Kinloch

Traditional bach in the old quieter part of Kinloch. It's only a 2 minute walk to the lake - 5 minutes walk to the dairy, cafe and marina - 10 minutes walk from the famous Jack Nicholas Golf course and cafe. All day sun. Plenty of room to play cricket or volleyball in the backyard. A large covered deck. Only 1 1/2 hours drive to the Chateau and ski-fields.

Kinloch hosts numerous walkways, reserves and tracks ideal for walks and bike rides that are accessible from the bach. The W2K mountain bike/walking trail begins in Kinloch through native bush providing spectacular views across Lake Taupo to the mountains of the Tongariro National Park. The Kawakawa track provides access to Kawakawa Bay otherwise accessible only by boat. Off that is the Otaketake–K2K Loop.

There's great trout fishing spots near Kinloch too - the marina provides easy boat launching.

Special conditions:
We expect visitors to clean-up and leave the bach as found, the cleaning fee charged is to cover resetting the fire, mopping floors and checking the bach after a visit to ensure it is always at the same high standard when guests arrive.
Sorry no pets.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); Bond (Required, NZ$250.00 per stay); NOTE to make this more affordable, we do not offer a linen option so you are expected to bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels).

Wonderful Easter Stay
We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay at this property. Communications with the owner were smooth throughout, contributing to a relaxing few days. The property is superbly maintained and equipped, in a lovely and particularly peaceful part of Kinloch. We slept like champions, too.

Kinloch at Rest
Classic kiwi bach with just the right level of comforts to make our Autumn stay enjoyable. The fireplace allowed us to keep the living area cosy & warm as the temperatures fell, plus a bit of warming left over for the bedrooms. Ideally located for our fishing trips - just 3 minutes down to the marina. Great fun.

The best little getaway bach
We loved this little Bach, it was perfect for our little family of four, great location just up from the kinloch general store, the lake beach, playground and bike tracks. The Bach was Cosy abs warm with the fire and had so much entertainment that took me back! Puzzles, scrabble, pick up sticks, monkeys in a barrel, and many more not to mention a large selection of DVDs. Peter and Linda were great communicators and everything was very straight forward from booking right through to checking out. Would highly recommend.

The perfect retreat
We stayed in this property for the Taupo Ultramarathon weekend. It was a fantastic location for the meeting points around Kinloch. Plus it was such a lovely place to come back to after a busy day. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return one day!
