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.

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.

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!

Great kiwi bach. Excellent location - spent many hours either on the decking or down by the lake which the property borders on. Would love to come back some time with the grandchildren as they'd love it. So close to jetty that all the kids jump off. Such fun!

Fabulous break
A real kiwi bach with a great cosy feel. Right on a brilliant part of the lake, very safe swimming for the children. We loved having the use of kayaks, paddleboards and the dinghy at the property, and then the BBQ for dinner. Benedict was great with communication. Our family had a fabulous break and would love to come and stay again.
