About this house rental

Welcome to a true blast from the past! Situated in the highly sought-after heart of Two Mile Bay, this cute, retro-style Taupo bach sits just a stone`s throw from the water`s edge. Offering a nostalgic look back at the classic family holidays of yesteryear, this home is an ideal base for families looking to unplug, unwind, and enjoy the lakeside.

This is a very traditional, older Kiwi bach full of vintage character and cozy charm. It features a relaxed living area with a heat pump to keep you perfectly warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

The home features three bedrooms and one bathroom:
Bedroom 1: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 Single Beds
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed and 1 Single Bed

Please note: This home does not have Wi-Fi available, offering a great opportunity to truly switch off. In true classic bach style, the home has a very retro feel and is well-lived-in, meaning a collection of the family`s personal belongings and holiday knick-knacks are present throughout.

Location & Parking
Stunning Location: Situated right across the road from the popular Two Mile Bay boat ramp and the lake.
Boaties` Paradise: Ample off-street parking with plenty of room to safely park both your car and the boat.

We love staying here and come annually. There was an issue with the key not being onsite at arrival, and the oven could really use a clean. Other than that it was as expected. Thanks.

Loved staying in this old style bach - had everything we needed for a family holiday. Amazing view, space to be together, nice walks, lots of books and games, well equipped kitchen. It is an older property, some peeling paint and cobwebs, but clean and well-maintained overall.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
Amazing location. Found the property itself quite run down. Broken furniture, poor cooking pans etc. No BBQ. Could do with an update.
