Our family had another great stay at Linga-Longa! Great communication from Kelli. The house has a great view of the lake and has all that you need. The lakeside reserve is just down the road with great swimming spots and the boat ramp. Highly recommended and we will be back yet again I'm sure!.

Great family friendly bach. Had everything that you need. Super close to the beach but elevated enough to have views right across the lake. Very peaceful setting and would come back again.

Third time we have used this bach, and totally recommend it, everything you need is provided, and it is always extremely clean. The views of Lake Taupo are a huge bonus, and the host is fabulous.
