Wee school holiday adventure
The place had a nice modern eclectic cosy vibe to it. Glimpses of the lake and as it says a very short stroll to the lake. Lovely deck and even a friendly local black kitty visited on a daily basis. The kitchen was fairly well equipped which was perfect for cooking for my coeliac daughter though a few things need an upgrade/ replacing that may have simply slipped their notice but I let the property manager know who was happy to look into it. Countdown was only 5 minutes down the road, away from the hustle and bustle of Taupo, which made it very convenient and the ladies working their were lovely. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would highly reccomend it to others.

A fantastic peaceful holiday!
This bach is superb! Exactly what my daughter and I wanted - tidy, clean, very welcoming altogether. We loved the peace and quiet, the visits from neighbourhood dog and cat! And the proximity to the lakeside. Please tell the owners we are very grateful!
