Lovely to be so close to the beach and ramp; nice homely bach with lovely big living room and deck, v clean kitchen and bath. Laid back, relaxing, much loved bach. Nice walks & beach & river.

Street rubbish & recycling collected early Monday; rubbish bag stickers 3 from local shop.

Very quiet lake house

Great view and access to the swimming beach. A little rustic but that made it all the more cozy. If the kids are looking forward to wifi there is none available so more dedicated family time.

Perfectly placed Bach

We loved our stay in Kuratau - being right next to the swimming area and boat ramp was fantastic - our family could park at the house and walk down to the ski area to meet us at the boat and we could just pop out and swim whenever the heat got too much. It meant we really got to enjoy making use of the lake. Would love to come back!

A very comfortable place

A restful place for 2 very tired people. The Freeview tv didn’t work but all else was fab. VRBO sent us a CheckIn process… the codes sent kept coming faster than 15 minutes as was meant to be so the CheckIn emailed code was a disastrous experience.

Beautiful location

The heaters in the bedroom didn't work. House is uninsulated, so not good for winter. Dog exercise area was fantastic. The lighting in the lounge was terrible for reading and knitting, which we did a lot of when the TV reception failed on our last night. The kitchen lighting was also pretty bad. I don't remember if the property description said that there was no WIFI, but there wasn't. That would have been okay if we'd been able to read or knit in the evening, but the lighting prevented that. And the mattress in the main bedroom was way past its use-by date.

Old but fit for purpose

The batch is old, I was a little disappointed on arrival that one of the bedrooms stunk of cigarettes (ah the days when people smoked inside), the carpet was covered in dog hair and has likely been years since the batch has had a good vacuum (I tried but the vacuum cleaner was useless). We had to fix up handles that fell off pans, struggled with the oven (and bbq) and had to fix some of the slats in the master bedroom after a terrible night's sleep. BUT all that aside with 2 toddlers, and dogs in tow the home being rough actually made it a very relaxed holiday as we were not worried about shoes inside etc etc. The location is prime! Right on the lake and the section was great for an Easter egg hunt. We had a great time and would come back.
