Private Family Lifestyle Paradise

Kia Ora

This is a Quiet, rural lifestyle property in a fabulous area of Taupo!

5 bedrooms with two bathrooms, well equipped kitchen with a pretty mountain view…

5 acres of gentle grazing (room for a couple of horses/ponies) should you want to bring them too!! (Please ask first - as neighbor grazes to keep grass down - and u must pick up poo)

Plenty of parking in a quiet, private home. Enjoy a beer or wine on the deck with the view of the mountain or relax in the patio area and have a family bbq…. just a 5 min or so drive to town.

Plenty of riding for the horse enthusiast (large grass verges along our road, and the Taupo Equestrian centre not far either!!!) perfect for a couple families that want to get together in a quiet relaxing environment!

Bring the boat or boats!!! Heaps of parking, safe to leave outside as house is not viewed from the road..

Hard day, why not soak in a thermal hot pool while the kids play at the water park just 6 mins down the Road!
(DeBretts Thermal Spa and waterpark)… Better still go alittle further to Wairakei, better for adults to enjoy a quiet soak together (we highly recommend this one)

Dinner out?? In 10 mins you can be in the centre of Taupo, enjoying an awesome meal, (Dixie Browns is good) or you could grab a coffee and sandwich at Industrie Cafe just a couple minutes down the Rd or a no fuss meal at the Local diner @ Stag park (1950s American style diner), both great eatery’s we highly recommend!

If peace and quiet is what your after, not far from town then this is the place to stay!!

Please note this is a Family Bach and you will have to provide your own linen - sheets, pillowcases, towels & tea towels etc..


ALL your rubbish must be taken with you on departure please. (Including recycling)


STRICTLY NO PARTIES, STAG/HEN DOS!

Ngā mihi - We hope you enjoy your stay and hope to see you again soon 😊

PLZ NOTE: we do have security cameras around the outside of the property to protect from intruders while vacant.

Plz treat our home with care and before leaving turn off lights and heated towel rail. Let us know if anything gets broken so we can sort it for next ppl..

We have now stayed at this property 2x and absolutely loved our time here. It is great for multiple families cohabitating for the weekend. We had 5 families here and it was great that we could put all the kids in the bunk room and they had there own space to go crazy and us adults could chill in the lounge area. Thanks for allowing us to use your property. Im sure we will return again

Great rural stay
Had a fantastic stay. Lovely location out in the country. We stayed with two other families and there was plenty of space for everybody. A couple of hand towels would have been great and some more staples like tin foil but all in all, throughly enjoyed it

Weekend
Great batch for a weekend getaway with family and friends. Although we accidentally visited the neighbours a couple of times, it was easy to find and a great spot for people from across the country to meet. We will definitely be coming back for more bbq's and weekends away in the future!

Birthday/Christmas Celebration with Friends and Family
We wanted to celebrate birthday & christmas with friends and this was the perfect place to accommodate 4-6 families. It was quiet, spacious and is also close to town. Shops were close on the 25th so we decided to go to the lake in Kinloch. Kids enjoyed it. We brought everything we needed in the kitchen and the bedrooms eventhough there were some linens available. We were able to use the bbq and the 3 fridge/freezer were very convenient.since we brought cakes and cupcakes.

Family Get Together
This property was ideal for our family get-together. Lovely quiet spot, plenty of room for the grandchildren and easy access to Taupo. The communication with the owners was excellent but Bookabach did not send through the property details and key access as promised on the night before our stay. We had intended leaving home early on the day of our trip but it took some time trying to contact Bookabach. We then emailed the owners directly and we received a response a little later. Bookabach did send the info but it was received two days into our stay. I note from a previous review that this has happened before. No reflection on the owners though who were very helpful.

Good place for a big group
This was a great space for a large group. The kids loved the bunk room and playing in the garden. It would have been useful to have a few more chairs for mealtimes. Remember to bring any basics you need.

Family getaway
My family and I absolutely loved our time there. It was spacious and quiet and peaceful. The scenery was amazing and we didn’t want to leave. The only down side to our stay was no clean dish cloths or scrubbing brushes which we purchased and left there as well as tea towels. Other than that everything was exactly what we needed. Would definitely go back again.

Beautiful location and home!
Prefect sized home for our large group, communication was excellent all up until the week of our stay, as we had no contact instructions on how to collect keys (had to ask around the neighbors for the property owners mobile to get into the bach, miscommunication from the book a Bach team??). Noticed that the carpets were not cleaned as there was grass all through the house. However, it was definitely still a great place & I would rebook if we ever needed to stay in Taupo with a large group again.
