### Classic Kiwi Bach – Walk to Town & Lakes

Classic Kiwi Bach..  
  
Just a 2-minute stroll to town, this 3-bedroom bach is the perfect base for your Mackenzie Country escape. Enjoy a sunny deck, child-friendly section, heat pump, free WiFi, and all the essentials.  
  
Close to lakes, fishing spots, cafes, fairy forest, Omarama’s Clay Cliffs & pools, star gazing, scenic walks, pump track, and Tekapo. Relax or explore!   
  
Note: This is not a full time air bnb, it is a private owned family bach/crib, available at certain times of the year when we are not requiring it, it is quirky and is set up simple.. kiwi, with all the basics!
