About this property
Quintessential Kiwi Kuratau Bach right on the lake front
There are not many of the original baches left. But this is one of them. Built in 1964 when the lakefront was first developed. And it still has this original feel. With some home comforts added like dishwasher and washing machine.
Immerse yourself in kiwi character and enjoy this stunning area.
Relax in this classic family bach right on the beach.
The main bedroom has a double bed with wardrobe, drawers and shelves. The second bedroom has 2 single beds with drawers and hooks.
There is a third bedroom above the garage with 2 double beds.
The living area is cosy with a fire place and wood provided. Couch, chairs, coffee table and TV which open out into the deck. You’ll be tucked away in the bush with the feeling of being really private.
The kitchen is fully equipped for family cooking. Nespresso coffee maker, Microwave and dishwasher plus plenty of cooking dishes and utensils.
Sliding doors open to a deck and from here the lake is right in front of you down a wee path.
