Great spot
Enjoyed our stay, such a beautiful spot. House in a great location and well set up for 2 families. Listing should reflect that jetty cannot be used overnight as one reason we booked the property.

Perfect family holiday
Perfect Kiwi bach for a family holiday. Lake access and shallow water were just right for littlies to develop water confidence, while the jetty was ideal for daytime boat mooring. The sleepout was a very convenient feature. We hope to return.

Great kiwi bach
Great bach is idyllic spot! FYI you need to bring your own sheets/towels/linen. This is at the bottom of the check in dets but not obvious enough..

Perfect weekend away, the property is in one of the best spots at Lake Tarawera. The deck & lawn were favourite spots everyday as the weather was amazing. There was everything on hand to ensure we had a relaxing long weekend.

Amazing Family getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and will absolutely be back. The house was clean and tidy and well stocked with everything we needed! So much space for the kids to enjoy with plenty of time spent having fun in the water! It is worth noting that if you are coming with a boat come prepared to anchor this away from the jetty, the handy information provided when we arrived mentioned the owner’s preference to use the jetty for drop off/pick ups only.

Perfect for Family Wedding occasion
We rented this Bach for family members to stay in while attending a family wedding. The close proximity to our Bach made it the perfect place for them to be based at. They enjoyed the Bach’s lake front location and the comfortable layout of the Bach for a group of adults to stay out. The big deck was well used as the weather was superb.

Accommodation for family wedding
I booked "absolute lake front" at Tarawera as accommodation for family members attending my niece's wedding, and various family functions at Tarawera. The location was ideal being a couple of km's from the venue and my sister's house. The house was perfect for our needs. I failed to note the need to bring linen, which was impractical as we were coming from Australia. I borrowed some towels and we used some sheets at the suggestion of the owner. It all worked out very well.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Jetty info
We had a lovely stay at this property and it meet it our needs except their was not enough info on the "rules" of the jetty. You are not allowed to leave a boat on the jetty overnight... which for us completely changes the point of having a jetty - if you are keen skiers and want it for the early am ski. We would have appreciated more upfront info on this and very probably would not have chosen this property because of this rule.

Wonderful and peaceful
The property is right on the lake, with jetty and little beach. The view is amazing, even from inside. We been lucky with weather so that helped even more, but yeah, we would have loved to spend all the 2020/21 lockdowns there! Well furnished and with all is needed. Very easy communication with host. Found a little bit strange that beddings and towels are not provided. Also there is no wifi and phone connection is not great, which might be perfect if you want to isolate otherwise you need a lot of patience and luck to find signal. About 30min drive to Rotorua.
