Fabulous holiday home, excellent hosts!

Excellent location for a summer getaway, suburb views, great kiwi batch with exceptional hosts. The hot water beach and ability to kayak from the house to the near by hot springs is a bonus! We look forward to staying again.

Great Remote Bach

What an incredible unique bach! Loved the location overlooking the lake and the house was so cozy. Communication and check in was so easy. If you're visiting from overseas, arrive while the sun is up! The road in might make you nervous (you'll be fine!)

Beautiful couples getaway

Absolutely amazing stay! Lovely views, and was even left with a lovely wine!! Thank you so much, my partner and I especially enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck, and waking up to that beautiful picture on the sunrise. Would recommend a hundred times over- the couples retreat that you would dream of!

Beautiful paradise

My friend and I stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip. We couldn’t have been happier. The views alone are worth it. We got to cook full meals as we watched the sun rise and set. We paddleboarded to different hot water spots and to bird watch. You could even walk in the water to a secluded beach where the tuis and fantails were everywhere! We loved this place and are so grateful we got to experience it would highly recommend!
