A beautiful home away from home on the lake

Kick back and relax at the' Bach on Lakefront property. Restful and healing place for those needing to get away from the city.
Sitting on the gorgeous Golden Mile, the baches consist of a modernized dwelling and two separate sleepouts' that add class. Set on a large section (1171m2 more or less) the property has heaps of room for extra campervans, petanque, glam campers, kayaks, boats, and much more!! Just spill out on the large deck. This is bound to attract the water lovers, with its proximity to a unique trout fishing experience, the local boat ramp, hot pools (5kms up the road), and cool drinks at the Old Trout Cafe

Lovely, cosy bach. Well equipped kitchen. The separate outside bedrooms gave every one space and privacy. The lake was beautiful to look at and swim in. A really peaceful retreat.

Property location was great, loved our stay
Location was perfect, right across the road from the lake. Host was responsive. We had a great time. Property is old so some TLC is required.

Locked out, No sheets and towels for a $75 linen fee
On arrival the access instructions were not provided and we found ourselves locked out for about an hour. Fortunately the property owner was quick to message back and apologetic. The property description does not have clear instructions with regard to linen provision, I checked this prior to packing to come to the property but I had been charged a $75 linen fee on top of cleaning and service fees so assumed that linen sheets and towels would be provided. These were not provided and covid was given as the reason. The linen fee was not refunded. The property is in a great location but the house and outbuildings are quite damp and have a strong damp smell. We made the most of this stay but overall the experience was poor and the house was clean and tidy but not a great value stay.

Perfect spot
Awesome property located in the perfect location along the golden mile. We moored the boat right in front of the property whilst our stay and only had to walk across the road whenever we wanted to take it out. Fantastic!!!! Highly recommended!

It was amazing
Everything was good, the view , barbecue, there was enough space, so on. There were two problems 1- the toilet was not cleaned. 2- the water in the shower was too hot that made it almost unusable. Other things were good.

Great location!
Perfect location for a family boating weekend. Loved the easy access to beach and proximity to boat ramp. On arrival, property was not as clean as expected and didn't realize 2 of the bedrooms had such low ceilings. The curtains on these rooms also kept falling off. During our stay the door got jammed and was really impressed by owners response, someone turned up next day to help resolve it. Overall good stay. Thanks.

Great little community
We had a very relaxing stay. The location directly across from the lake was superb. We joined the little community for their ANZAC service, everyone was so welcoming. The bedroom set up suits having teens as the rooms are outside. We needed to boil the water as it is pumped directly from the lake. All in all a restful stay. We will be back.

Lake Rotoma stay.
We enjoyed our stay here. The photos online don't show enough of how beautiful this place is. Its great for big families or even groups of friends or adults The lake is just across the road with a boat ramp 5 minutes down there road. Plenty of space for tents and gazebos. It could do with another bathroom or toilet. but overall we loved it.

50/50 experience
On arrival i was taken back by only ONE bedroom inside the house and the other three outside. Was charged a cleaning fee + a linen fee only to find no linen I messaged the owner to get told the linen fee was for the duvets he needs to change there ad to reflect what they are offering. The clothes dry was missing and as it was raining most of the week we were there I again was disappointed the owner told me it was stolen but who knows. The place is nice and has a great outlook but if you have kids under 15 I don’t think I would book it. Or the weather is not good you get wet going to the bathroom any time of day also only one key so you have to leave the back door unlocked at night so the people in the other three bedroom/sleep outs can get in the house to use the bathroom. Overall I think it’s good the owner just needs to improve on there ad so the right expectations are set when you book the place
