serenity by the lake
This is a great original kiwi bach for a relaxed family holiday. It is compact but had all that we required, with lots of space outside and easy walking distance to the lake.

Family Summer Break
Very Cute Bach, near 4 mile bay. Excellent location.
Cottage worked well for our family and pet. Loved the out door area, kitchen was well stocked if I had forgotten something, nice living area to relax in too.
Thank you. We would love to come back.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was pretty basic but in a great location. Could have been cleaner.
Was generally good. Biggest issue was cleanliness. My daughter was quite shocked to find crumbs in her bed, sheets obviously not properly cleaned. Also, vacuuming of carpet areas not great either.

Very clean and in a great location just outside of Taupo and very close to the lake. It was a super wet and wild weekend when we were there and the heating and lights had helpfully been turned on for our arrival. A thoughtful touch.

Excellent location.
Excellent location. Suitable for families with young children and/or grandchildren. Owners very pleasant to deal with. Would stay there again, however, would eat out every night as the kitchen is very small.
