It was everything I could have wished for - comfortable and relaxed house in the perfect location. Penny was helpful to deal with especially when we had some medial issues and we were able to extend our stay . My only criticism would be the double bed which was very hard. Would definitely stay again but a comfier bed would make it perfect. Shout out to the Kinloch locals - what a friendly welcoming community! ##### Pauline B.

It is prime lakefront and so tranquil you just feel at peace looking out the living room windows. The sky at night was majestic too. It is well worth downloading the Stellarium app for identifying the constellations. The rooms are comfortable and the bach stayed warm without the need for the overhead radiator. The shower was piping hot for five of us and the old leather lazy-boys got plenty of use. Unwind and enjoy! ##### David G.

The house was warm and got morning sun on the back deck and arvo sun on the front deck. The shower was good pressure. The beds could have been comfier especially in the back room where my husband hit the wooden base board every time he moved but if you have kids put them in those beds. Backed on to a quiet cul de sac which and fenced on three sides but one whole side wasn’t fenced only trees dotted along it so our dog and kids often got out so just keep an eye on them. Host always messaged back promptly and check in was a breeze. They only had sky tv so bring some dvds if you want to watch anything else and there was no wifi but there is fine reception there. The home itself was pretty basic for what we were paying but we went in a public holiday and the views were beautiful. Only 20 minutes from Taupō and close to attractions like Huka falls, liliput animal farm, rapids jet, mind junction etc so location worked we for us. Would definitely come back and stay again! ##### Rebecca B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ---
