    We loved our stay at the Lake House! Such a great place to relax and unwind. The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. Sally had great communication and made everything easy from start to finish. We had a fantastic family getaway and can't wait to come back one day!

    We love magical Tarawera, and your house was the perfect getaway for our family to come home to after mountain biking. Beautiful walks around the lake and a great selection of board games. Clean, warm and cosy!

The place was clean and tidy, equipped with lots of toys and games and everything you need in the kitchen.Lake Tarawera was a beautiful and calming spot, perfect for our weekend away.Thank you so much for having us.

    Fantastic! Loved the batch fabulous view of the lake from the large deck, kitchen had everything that we needed with lots of little extras that you don't normally get in short term rentals. Communication and information about the batch and local amenities was excellent. Fantastic to be provided with a rubbish bag for free rubbish disposal at the near by transfer station. Good layout and plenty of room for a family of 5 adults

    This was our 2nd time staying in Sally’s lovely Bach. It is clean, comfortable, with everything you need. The view is beautiful. There is plenty of outside space for cars and boats. A lovely big deck for socialising outside. Near the boat ramp. On a lovely quiet street. The beds are very comfortable too which is so lovely when wanting to really recuperate after a busy year and Xmas season. Would definitely stay there again.

    A few nights stay to try out Lake Tarawera. Awesome spot and equally awesome bach. Is as described and had room to park and turn our boat. We'll definitely be returning soon.

    Three generations of our family gathered at Tarawera for six days. The weather was excellent . Xmas lunch was a picnic at the reserve. This house is extremely well equiped with all cleaning products and consumables.Sally [owner] was very good to deal with and hopefully she would let us have her house again if we repeat.
