Little Gem
Stayed with my elderly mother who loved the birdsong emanating from the adjacent wetlands. Bird watching heaven, all from the back porch. Close to the scenic walkway along the Tauranga Taupo river; more birdwatching joys await. Bach is simple and functional for any family and ideally located for a multitude of outdoor activities.

Oldie but a goodie
Classic kiwi Bach. Lake just down the road. The challenge service station where you pick up the keys is fairly well stocked if you need anything including fish and chips. It is a very old house with a pump and low pressure hot water. The shower was extremely low pressure, the shower head fell apart twice. It is a lovely Quiet street

budget friendly characterful Bach
The little house was everything we needed on our winter road trip. Plenty of heaters and blankets to keep us warm. The decor hasn't changed much since the 1960's but that just added to the charm.

A lovely place to stay, however a bit difficult to sleep as all the beds were rocky and bouncy. No sign of the swirlpool spa or hot tub described on the listing !

Wonderful 1950s bach - the real deal
Genuine 1950s bach, beautifully set up. Excellent communication with owner and easy key collection/return from service station down the road. Short walk/bike to lake for amazing swims. Dog and kid friendly. We loved every minute! Highly recommend and will be staying again. :)
