"We enjoyed our stay here. Great location, the back unit is restful looking out on bush. Some noise between units but not too bad. Everything we needed."

"We all had a great time. Bach was simple but lovely, a true old school kiwi lake bach. Our girls 6 & 8 had a blast and spent most of the time in the water. Whareroa is a Absolute hidden gem. We will be back. Thanks again, Sim & kay."

"Lovely clean accommodation; in very pretty grounds with secure decking . Comfy beds. Easy communication."

"Thank you for sharing you place with us. Well appointed and super cozy home away from home. Beds were comfortable and a great showers. Really appreciated the linen provided. We will love to return one day."

"Had everything we needed for our three night stay and was handy to the lake for a quick dip! We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the great views of the lake. The location was quiet with the walkway along the lake good for our morning walk. Private snd plenty of room for our group of 12. Would highly recommend 👌"

"The home was lovely, very clean, and readily accessible to restaurants and grocery stores. Check in and out process was easy. I would recommend this place."

"This property is simply delightful. Well appointed, beautifully designed, extremely comfortable. Please don't tell anyone else about it!!! We want to stay again. Thank you for the gift bag of goodies on our arrival. Best wishes to the owners. They have done a fantastic job of creating a wee bit of paradise. Please also thank them for making it available for rental. We loved our stay. Too brief."

"Incredibly charming little cabin, don't let the size fool you as it's laid out well and thought went into every nooks and crannies. Charming material and the stone tiled shower and the outdoor tub are a treat. Maybe we were unlucky though as many light bulbs died. Kids loved the attic; even more so during some intense rain and hail, just wonderful."

"Really good arrangements and location of the property is pretty amazing. Ross is very courteous and welcoming. Would love to come back and stay again."

"This place is perfect for a large group holidaying together"

"Have holidayed in Hatepe for forty years so have rented many properties. Enjoyed the lake side position, the open fire and comfortable furnishings. There was only one extra blanket for the beds for my grandchildren who had come to NZ from 30 + degrees . Thanks owners for letting your property. I nursed with Di North in PN Hospital many years ago when we trained and Dr North was Med Superintendent? ( or have wrong family)??"

"Great spot, beautiful outlook. Really enjoyed our stay"

"overall cleaning need looking at , but otherwise nice stay"

"Very nice location and easy access to the property "

"Wow the view was amazing. One of the best views in Taupo. The house was spacious and mostly pretty comfortable. Bathrooms and kitchen need a refresh but kitchen was well stocked for a large family group. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. Fabulous outdoor area with lots of seating and comfirtable lounge area. We had a wonderful time. Thankyou."

"Good place, was tidy and everything we needed"

"Nice & quirky place. Nice and warm once the fire is roaring. Great hosts with the local team"

"With this house you get an awful lot of dampness along side all the wonders of a beautiful bush setting, and fantastic morning bird song. There are dehumidifiers downstairs that barely take the edge off the appalling damp, moldy smell down where the lower bedrooms are. Even the upstairs bedroom was more musty than I would expect for a quality bach. When we arrived the hot water hadnt been turned on, and its really hard to get someone from Bachcare to answer the phone, so it took a while to get...

"Had a couple of nights here and really enjoyed the relaxing, rustic atmosphere. Fireplace was a lovely addition and kept the place feeling cosy all weekend. Was a bit tricky finding the house in the dark, but as long as you know it's behind the front house, then it's no issue at all. Definitely keen to come stay here again."

"Overall we enjoyed our stay but there were quite a few gaps. There were no instructions for the fire and when we arrived it was on. However after about an hour it went out on its own. The backup heater didn’t work so our first night was somewhat freezing. No reply from the Bachcare despite 3 tries and we finally managed to get it working ourselves by turning the mains power off to reset. No soap in the bathroom, not enough pillows. No vegetable peeler and the cleaning in the kitchen was pretty...
