    The views are awesome. Taupo at night across the lake is pretty special. The bird song was lovely as were the Quails that came a visiting. The dogs loved the walks and say thank you for having them. Best of all was the perfect weather. Thank you for the loan of your Bach.

    As described, quiet and secluded with great views. Dog friendly, but an open garden so bear that in mind if that is a concern for you

    This place was perfect for my partner, dog and I. We had an awesome time. Our dog got to run around off leash within the safety of the property while being in complete view and access to the lake itself so close! About a 5-7min walk away. The place was so peaceful, the scenery was gorgeous, it was absolutely surreal. It’s the perfect get away from the busyness of city life. Everything advertised exactly as expected and we definitely will be staying again soon! Thank you so much James!!

    This charming holiday bach is a gem for couples and their furry friends seeking a peaceful retreat. Compact yet cozy, it’s equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The spacious front yard, overlooking a serene lake just minutes away on foot, is perfect for stargazing under a brilliantly clear, minimally light polluted sky. Exceeding expectations, the bach delivers exactly as advertised quiet, tranquil, and nestled in a safe, friendly small town with welcoming neighbors. A quick 20 minute drive to Turangi offers easy access to groceries and dining. Ideal for escaping city life, the area abounds with outdoor activities. The host’s responsiveness and seamless communication make the experience effortless. Highly recommended for a down-to-earth getaway where fur babies are warmly welcomed!

    James and Mel’s hideaway is the perfect spot for relaxing. We really appreciated being able to bring the dog (he loved trying to chase bunnies) and there was plenty of space to park the boat. The accommodation is well set up and has the added bonus of the boat ramp down the hill.Thanks again!
