About this house rental
Charming character kiwi bach beside Cherry Tree Reserve - 1/2 minute walk to the Tongariro River - excellent fishing, fabulous walks, mountain bike tracks - quiet laid-back holidaying, or full-on activities if you prefer:
White water rafting, 18 hole golf course, horse trekking, hot pools and fascinating Trout Hatchery all nearby.
Mountain Views, 1/2 hour to ski field, 1/2 hour to Taupo. 20 minutes to start of Tongariro Crossing - one of the top 5 one-day treks in the world. 5 minute drive to Tokaanu boat ramp on Lake Taupo.
Great local cafes - world class coffee and food available at The Creel (almost next door), rock climbing wall, swimming pool complex, mini golf, comprehensive supermarket all in walking distance.
Bach has cosy woodburner providing unlimited hot water; electric blankets on some beds, duvets and pillows supplied, but YOU NEED TO BRING OWN SHEETS, PILLOW CASES & TOWELS.
Several board games & ball games for children. The pantry is full of all the staple items - Tea, Coffee, Milo, flour, sugar etc. You are welcome to use anything you find. We only ask that if you finish something in the pantry, please replace it. Washing powder and dishwasher powder, detergent etc are all there.
Plenty of parking for boats and cars.
Please note: This is a cosy, quirky family bach - not a sterile 'hotel style' accommodation.
Special conditions:
2 night minimum stay.
1/2 Deposit payable on confirmation of rental - balance payable before rental period begins..
Strictly no smoking inside bach - thanks. Guests not to exceed 7 - it places too much strain on the bathroom facilities!
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: clean the house and do the dishes before you leave (or pay a $30 cleaning fee by arrangement); BRING YOUR OWN LINEN (SHEETS/TOWELS/PILLOWCASES)

The property was welcoming to pets, nice to have the garden space and access to walks.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
We have stayed here before and loved the place. Unfortunately the house was broken into prior to us arriving so that put a dampener on it as it was only a short break and one morning was wasted waiting for the police to arrive from Taupo. However if you are looking for somewhere peaceful to stay it is great.
