View was stunning!

Everything about this property was awesome! We were there for trout fishing opening, so the jetty was perfect, we didn’t have great weather but the views made up for that.. would have been happy to just sit and enjoy the view and not fish in the rain lol! Thanks for opening your home and sharing this stunning spot!

Views to die for

Great stay with my husbands aunt and uncle visiting from Australia…they were blown away by the view of Lake Tarawera! House was the perfect set up for us and a massive bonus to have our miniature schnauzer Gracie be welcomed as well.

Great Bach in a Very Special Spot

The house was perfect - everything that we needed for our stay. The location is great and the view spectacular. The only issue was that we had to go outside to access one of the bedrooms, which wouldn’t have been an issue, if there hadn’t been thunderstorms…

Great lakeside bach with gorgeous views

Bach was comfortable with everything you need to enjoy a few days relaxing lakeside. The large deck was great & captured sun until mid afternoon. Fireplace warms the open plan lounge & kitchen well. The teens enjoyed extra lounge/bedroom downstairs. Great to have quick access to private jetty & the lake path around to boat shed bay. Would definitely recommend this bach.

Great view, great property, great locale, great paddling

My sister and I, husbands and 80yr old mother came here for 3 nights. The mid-level house is lovely with a fabulous picture view of Boatshed Bay, open fire and refurbed kitchen and bathroom. (Upstairs is locked off). Beautiful walks through the bush and around the lakefront, and a highlight was the peaceful paddle around to next bay using the two included kayaks (yay!) If arriving in winter, light the fire immediately as takes ages to warm up the open plan house, even with extra oil and fan heater. Place would be amazing in summer! Definitely recommend it, didn't want to leave.

FAMILY HOLIDAY

The property is in a fantastic location, the jetty easily accommodated our 7m boat. The veiws are absolutely fantastic, unfortunately we had rain the whole time so did not get to see the summit of Tarawera. The batch is well set up, nice kitchen and plenty of space in the living room. The one minor negative was the BBQ had not been cleaned in months.

Taradise

A wonderful place to stay, fantastic views from the deck looking out over Boat Shed Bay and beyond. Reasonable but steep access to the jetty below the house, this was a great asset allowing us to leave the boat in the water ready for use. Good sleeping arrangements for the extended family. A very good standard of accommodation and facilities. Very keen to return.

Great house, great view

Stayed at Lake T for a long weekend and the house was perfect. A fire and comfy sofas for the adults upstairs and the rumpus room downstairs for the kids was amazing. Had all the information we needed from our host Paul and everything went well. Thanks very much.
