Basic classic Kiwi bach stay

Our whānau reunion was great here. Relaxed, plenty of room. Basic amenities but comfy beds. Perfect for dogs. Awesome deck with views. Nothing posh but good for us. Sleepout really comfy too, with ensuite. Plentynof heating. Tiny kitchen so no gourmet cooking which suited us. Best fish and chips 5 minutes away at The Fish Box.

Retro Perfection

This house surpassed our expectations! It was like a retro timewarp - LOVED it! SSoo clean! Beautiful view to lake and great for larger groups. We had our family of 4 (2 kids 15 & 12), 3 men (2 over 76 years). They all said the beds were comfy and with the heatpumps, the house was lovely and warm. The new carpet added to the comfort and warmth underfoot. Close access to the lake with a walkway diagnonally across the road. We will definitely be staying here again!
