About this property

Budget Lake view Bach, Pet friendly

Quintessential NZ bach overlooking Lake Mahinerangi, set within a community of 30 other holiday homes and some permanent that has all the comforts of home. The view from the front porch is spellbinding and everchanging. The night sky is spectacular as no street lighting to spoil the view . A place to relax, fish, mountain bike through pine forests or do some boating. Bring your dog, they will love swimming in the lake or hunting the islands for rabbits .

Relaxing Stay
Great to get away from it all. Nice relaxing spot. Family enjoyed walking and playing in the lake and mud. Loved the kiwi crib atmosphere, it was lovely and cozy and we enjoyed playing the boardgames and watching DVD's at night. Such a short distance from Dunedin which is a bonus.

Unfortunately, due to my broken leg and then emergency surgery on it, we were unable to make our booking. Our host was wonderfully understanding and has agreed to allow us to rebook later in the year. Thank you, we are really looking forward to a stay.

The property was great! Very peaceful weekend for my family & I while we were there for the All Blacks game. Would love to return in the warmer months to make the most of the lake & the utilities that were available to us. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends & whānau. Thank you very much!

The crib is clean and tidy and a great place to relax. Im sure it would be better if my partner didn't have a broken leg. We plan on returning.

Elderly heading south from Christchurch to Southland + 'two boys' ( our dogs).
Great location. Loved seeing the sun rise from the deck. Dogs secure when outside. For older persons, please warn about an outside loo. Lovely and cosy, I would love to come back although my husband is not so sure. So many 'paper roads' in the area - maps and GPS!!!! Explored the area towards Gabriel's Gully and back by a different route and found roads no longer exist - except tracks through farms....Wish I knew about fishing....Thank you.

Great, quiet spot. Didnt realise there was an outhouse - no biggy but I took my Dad who is not so well & unsteady on his feet and worried about him using toilet at night. Booked 3 nights but could only stay 2 due to my Dad needing to go to back into care.

Quiet Lake batch
Great wee Bach right on the lake, great for fishing or just reading a book on the porch. Unfortuately there was an accident with the water pipe falling down leaving us with no water and having to leave earlier. No fault of anyone’s just one those things. Owner has offered a refund which was great. Thanks for letting us stay

Reminiscing
It is a real kiwi bach or crib. Not luxurious but as the pictures portray it is comfortable and in a beautiful location. We arrived on the Friday late afternoon, the conditions for fishing were absolutely perfect. The next day was alright, a bit cooler but still we were able to be outdoors. This area has heaps of history, well worth taking the time to explore. The people in this little settlement are friendly, I definitely did not get the same feeling in the Waipori Village itself. It is very quaint crib and one that I am planning to use again.

About the host

Hosted by daryl

Host profile image
We bought this crib 7 years ago to make memories which we have made plenty. We decided to rent it out when we were not using it so that others could have a break away that would not break the bank. We are pleased that most have respected our lovely bach and enjoyed the region.

Why they chose this property

It is only 45 to 55 minutes out of Dunedin. All you have to do is bring your food, towels and toiletries. It is priced so everyone can afford a stay and you can bring your house trained dog. The fishing is at your door and there are many features around the area.
