50 metres from the Hydro Pool, one of the famous trout fishing pools on the Tongariro River, at the end of a cul de sac. Surrounded by bush, it is secluded, private and quiet. You fall asleep at night listening to the sound of the river. The living/dining area opens onto a sunny deck. There's a large lawn out the front. In winter, crank up the woodburner fire place - perfect after a day's skiing on Mt Ruapehu: Whakapapa only 45 mins away! Walk over to the Major Jones swing bridge and follow easy tracks alongside the river or head to beautiful Lake Taupo, the hot pools at nearby Tokaanu, or Taupo town 40 minutes away.
Please note that this is a basic fishing cottage, not a flash, modern bach. Shabby chic is the vibe. Please bring your own linen and towels, including tea towels.
Special conditions:
Please note that we do not provide linen, towels or tea towels. This is a basic bach as is reflected in the price.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels); keep a stash of wood beside the fireplace if you can.

    This Accommodation suited us perfectly and couldn't of been in a better location, the only thing that was abit tricky was the hot water for a shower which lasted only a few minutes so no one really had a successful wash lol , nevermind it was a fantastic holiday and will definitely stay here again if the dates align with our fishing

    Just what i needed. Calm little weekend away in comfort. Will certainly miss waking up to the sunrise in the loft bedroom, and listening to the Tongariro River while reading with a cuppa

    The location is good, with easy access to Taupō and Tongariro, the house itself is nice, but there were at least 3 different families of birds nesting inside the walls and ceiling of the property. The noise and the smell was very off putting. I’m not sure if the property is cleaned aside from when the previous guests leave, and the carpets were covered in dead flies that had gotten trapped inside, so I’m not sure when that last was.The instructions for check in were easy enough to follow and the directions to the property were clear, but in the end we found a different place to stay last minute due to the noise, smell, and lack of cleanliness. If we had booked with a larger group (as this property has true space) this wouldn’t have been possible.

    Beautiful spot by the river. The Bach is well set up with furniture, cutlery and bedding (BYO sheets) and has all the basics, ideal for a family.

    Basic yet adequate for our needs. Would recommend to anglers who want to be close to the river. Nice quiet location.

    We always enjoy staying here with a couple of friends for an annual getaway. Great location right on the river. Although at the start of this stay we were greeted with unwashed, food laden dishes and rubbish etc left from previous guests which we had to clean up.
