About this property

Be the first to launch the boat in the morning, for that morning ski or wake board, or catch that trout for breakfast. Take the kayaks out for a more relaxed pace around the lake to enjoy the bird life and views.
Sit in the spa at the end of the day and watch the sun go down after enjoying a home cooked meal on the large deck that overlooks the lake.
Winter nights can be enjoyed in front of the fire with a nice glass of wine, while watching a movie from the DVD collection supplied. This Bach has a modern kitchen, with all new appliances and pantry with basic dried herbs and spices, for those who enjoy cooking.
Although the garage is not available to guests there is plenty of parking at the property and adjoining reserve.

Awesome Bach

We loved our stay here! Lynley was great to deal, the Bach was spotless, and very well set up. We loved the spa, the use of the kayaks, the fire pit for toasting marshmallows and a lovely section for playing soccer with a beautiful lake view. The fire kept the house cosy. We’ll be back.

Tararewa Ultra Stay

This place was really nice to relax before and after the Tararewa Ultra Marathon event. Remote but perfect if you want to get away from city life and watch the lake and abundant bird life.

School holidays

We found it a cozy batch with plenty of extras to make living easy and enjoyable, helpful instruction to follow on arrival and good communication all throughout. The place has a back yard to let children frolic and loads of seating to dine and lounge around outside. With a location so picturesque its hard to leave, but theres loads to explore around the area, we enjoyed bush walks, mountain biking and just being beside the lake fishing and kayaking. Great place for family memories we wish to return again.

Ideal family retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is very well appointed and there is a nice variety of areas to hang out. Given that we stayed here in July, it was a bit of work to keep the house warm with the fire place but really no problem. Gorgeous sunrises over the lake reward early risers. We'd love to rent here again in the summer.

Pretty much perfect lakeside retreat

Lovely calm spot, beautiful lawns down to the lake, peaceful view and lovely deck. Spa pool under cover but with view of the lake we enjoyed night and day even in mid winter. Spotlessly clean, lots of space. Warm and plenty of blankets and electric blankets if needed (we didn’t). Very occasional truck noise could bother some but too brief to bother us. Brilliant view of Milky Way during our stay. Well stocked kitchen, large modern fridge freezer and dishwasher. Would very happily return

A good solid family Bach. Excellent value for money.

Good points - lake front location - fire pit & bbq & fireplace - great amenities and facilities - plenty of space - kayaks and equipment Things to consider - a corkscrew! - traffic noise can be a little loud at times - especially the 6am bin collection for the petrol station. Hints & tips - the petrol station next door is good for little bits to top up shopping - go for a walk near the Bach to get firewood, sticks & pine cones. We found plenty if you walk up the road along the lakefront. - if going at Easter go wild blackberry picking down the road near the fire station

Beautiful Lake Rotoma stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this property, everything thing was neat and tidy and in full working order. A great well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and beds and good hot water supply. The lakeside outdoor area was just lovely with a great view over the lake and access to the lake. I really can't fault this property and communication with owner was great.

A quick drive to heaven on earth

Wow! Everything about this weekend away was the best experience I had in a long time. The hosts were amazing, so friendly, and the communication was so easy as was the check in and getting in to the property. The bach was so clean and cosy when we stepped in, the fire was burning and filled the air with a “welcome home” vibe. Watching the sun rise over the lake while having breakfast on the deck, while breathing in the fresh air of our surroundings is definitely my favourite memory. I would 100% recommend anyone to stay here, and I can’t wait to go back for a longer visit. We are in love with this place!

Stunning Location and Facilities

Lynley has and amazing house at Lake Rotoma, Originally I had booked for a few mates for a trout fishing trip , but they pulled out and in the end My wife and two daughters and cousin came down for a guided trout fishing weekend. The accommodation is fantastic with modern appliances and we felt like we were at home. Great cooking facilities with great hob and Weber BBQ, Offsite parking and fenced section was brilliant and my wife caught her first trout on fly right beside the boat ramp 5 minutes walk away. Lynley was amazing to deal with and great communication. Only suggestions (very minor) to get a weber BBQ brush (they are magic) and also the clips on the spa pool are bit of a nightmare, maybe a better strap system with out the clips as they tend to deteriorate in the uv light and become brittle. Very minor and we would definitely come back as it is a stunning location!!!! Thanks so much Lynley for making our weekend.

Had a great time staying at Lake Rotoma in this fantastic Bach. Everything is perfectly laid out and it is an ideal location being right on the reserve and boat ramp. The host was top notch and know how to make the stay seamless. She even had a port-a-cot set up and ready to go at short notice.

Awesome bach in excellent location

Awesome bach, was very clean and tidy when we arrived and had everything we needed during our stay. Kayaks and spa were a total bonus! Lots of space for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids, both inside and outdoors. Great big kitchen with big fridge and dishwasher. Close to boat ramp which made it so easy for our lake adventures. Host was lovely to deal with too. Is now our favourite bach to stay in at Rotoma, and our family have stayed at a few! Thankyou so much for letting us stay and we hope to be back next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Lynley Bedingham

The property is our family Bach, where we enjoy spending time with our adult children & grandchildren. We are all keen water skiers & wake boarders. We feel very fortunate to be able to be at the Lake and have chosen to share this amazing spot with guests for the mean time.

Why they chose this property

Unlike most the properties at Rotoma, it is on the same side as the Lake, so we do not have to cross the busy State Highway 30 to access the Lake making it safer for children.
