Beautiful couples getaway

Absolutely amazing stay! Lovely views, and was even left with a lovely wine!! Thank you so much, my partner and I especially enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck, and waking up to that beautiful picture on the sunrise. Would recommend a hundred times over- the couples retreat that you would dream of!

Family Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this little piece of paradise. Great host and we loved the quirkiness of the house and tranquillity of location. Bach has everything you need and more! Close to the lake for a nip across to the hot pools, trout fishing and even a private island to dig your own hot water pool and explore on the kayaks.

Fabulous stay

This was a return visit and we enjoyed it even more than the 1st time. The property is fantastic, plenty of space and everything you need is there including Kayak which got plenty of use by the teenagers. Tim gave us loads of local activity recommendations which were new and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days and will definitely return again

Lovely quiet getaway

A Great location in the bush, would be great for kids a big open field next to the house with wallabies at night, easy access to the beach. At this time of year it is easy walking access through the lake (shallow) to the hot water beach island. Good view of the lake in the evening. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Rural and relaxing

Great stay, the property manager was easy to contact when we had an issue with the water. There was a large green space adjacent to the house which was perfect for the kids to run around on and there was easy access to the lake. A short walk to a secret hot water stream made for a great outing! Views from the property were beautiful and kitchen had everything we needed.

What an incredible unique bach! Loved the location overlooking the lake and the house was so cozy. Communication and check in was so easy. If you're visiting from overseas, arrive while the sun is up! The road in might make you nervous (you'll be fine!)

Beautiful paradise

My friend and I stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip. We couldn’t have been happier. The views alone are worth it. We got to cook full meals as we watched the sun rise and set. We paddleboarded to different hot water spots and to bird watch. You could even walk in the water to a secluded beach where the tuis and fantails were everywhere! We loved this place and are so grateful we got to experience it would highly recommend!
