About this house rental
It's not a bach, it's a home with lovely lake views everywhere!!! A piece of lake paradise.
Lake swimming access is 50 metres from the house; Literally across the street.
10-minute drive to town but once you've settled in, you won't want to leave the tranquility of the bay.
Plenty of space to park the boat off-street - up to 5.5m works well. Larger than that, the driver must be skilled reversing and navigating a tight curve. Boat launch access is 1.4 km up the road.
Lots of room to let the kids run around and play in the yard. If they are down at the lake and not too noisy themselves, they can hear you ring the cow bell for dinner. It's that close - only 100 meters away & you're in the water!
The indoor / outdoor flow is great for BQs and watching the sun set or rise over the lake. Due to the high deck and steep steps & stairwells, we don't recommend this property for toddlers. We want everyone to relax and enjoy the views, a glass of wine and not worry about the littlies.
THE HOUSE:
We have recently (2024) renovated. We are about 95% finished. We've done a lot: new carpets, curtains, paint, deck, sofa and a number of other bits & bobs. We want guests that will enjoy and respect our beautiful lake house.
Upstairs is a private room we call the “Crow's Nest”. Everyone fights over having this room - for the 360-degree views.
We use the house and lake to disconnect from the rest of the world, so there is no internet, but we have compromised with satellite TV.
We have provided blankets, duvets and pillows. We prefer guest to bring their own linens (sheets, pillowcases, and towels) but we can provide them for a small fee ($25 per person). Otherwise, you'll find the house fully stocked to meet your everyday needs.
DETAILS TO NOTE:
No WI-FI at the house. We hotspot off a phone, if the tech withdrawals are too severe. Find the mime at the house to get our view about disconnecting while at the lake.
There is a required one-time cleaning fee per stay.
We also offer a couple of discounts for longer stays (a week or more which is highly recommended for a full reset/unwind) and if booked more than 2 weeks in advance for stays between May thru Sept 2026. Discounts range between 10% -50%.
We also hope you appreciate the simplified pricing for up to 6 guests and enjoy a wonderful time at the lake.
PLEASE NOTE: Decks and steep stairs (inside and outside) are not suitable for Toddlers.
Remember to let us know if you need us to provide linens.

Lynn was incredibly welcoming. Accommodation, location and view were stunning. It was so great to connect with family offline in this fantastic location. Close to swimming and only a short drive to Taupo. I would highly recommend and we would love to come back.

We stayed for three nights- myself and my partner, both of our mothers and our two children, 11 and 7 years old. We were blown away by the views as soon as we arrived, especially from the top bedroom. The pictures don't do it justice! The house was really spacious for all of us and it was great to have two bathrooms. The house is very well equipped with everything you need and the new carpet is lovely! Our daughter loved all of the games available and we played many of them! Both of the kids loved the space inside and out to play. It was a really peacefull neighbourhood and just a short stroll to the beach. Lynn communicated with us really well. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Would have been better had the place been cleaned before we arrived. Lovely neighbour hood but facilities need updating.
