About this Holiday House

A Large family Bach, suitable for one, two or three families and grandparents :) Sleeps 14 max. Front Deck with lovely lazy bench, Rear Deck with dining tables, large bathroom with LPG Califont shower inside, seperate toilet in a rear building outside. Inside, open plan Living, Dining and Kitchen areas plus three Bedrooms. Sleeping 14 people, the Bach has the following sleeping places (all modern inner sprung mattresses): Three bedrooms - Main bedroom has a Queen + two Single Beds, (4 people) 2nd Bedroom has a Double bed and four Single beds (6 people) 3rd Bedroom has a Queen bed (2 people) Lounge Room has a Sofa / Fold-out Double bed (2 people) Kitchen setup: Modern full-size fridge, stone benchtops and loads of cupboard space, tiled kitchen floors Lovely lake views from the front deck, plenty fresh rainwater, lights powered by solar, polished Remu floorboards. Quiet peaceful location in DOC land (Dogs not permitted - sorry :). Plenty of walks, and outdoor pursuits... or a lovely spot for reading on the deck or in the lounge... Internet Wi-Fi available at an extra cost through local transmitter tower. Mobile phone coverage. Our rear private deck / entertaining area has two large tables and plenty seating. Lovely new Metro Ambie Plus fireplace fitted in the Kitchen that produces amazing heat for warming up the whole Bach and staying warm while it gently snows outside in Winter. The Metro Ambie plus fireplace is rated for a large 4 bedroom home up to 200sqm. The bach is a lovely compact 88sqm. The fireplace is located in the front living / dining / kitchen and there is a hallway separating the front rooms and the bedrooms two doors leading to the bedrooms allowing for quiet rooms when sleeping while others can still enjoy the front rooms. You can also leave these doors open to permit the warmth from the fire to heat the two internal bedrooms. The third bedroom with a Queen bed is accessed from the rear decking or through either of the other two bedrooms. Due to the inherent fire risk, we keep limited firewood on site and recommend our guests bring a bag of firewood to compliment the wood store on site. Lake Clearwater is an off grid location with no mains power. That's what actually makes it sooo lovely:) We operate an off grid installation with Solar Panels and batteries and operate a 12 volt & 240 volt lighting and water pump system. There is no guest access to 240 volts power onsite however we do provide USB 12 volt charging station for devices. Clearly, we rely on the sun for recharging the large 4 * seperate battery banks installation. We have made some major improvements to the Bach over the last couple of years. For our repeat clients - you will see some huge differences! :) It is a lovely winter weekend getaway and a great summer weekend fun (Lakes Waterskiing or Fishing, walking or tramping)... Please message me if you would like further info or please book accordingly for your dates at an amazing location :)

Great classic kiwi batch. View from the deck was stunning. We went early winter fire kept it warm and cozy.
Gareth Joyce
A great Bach with plenty of room. Plenty of sleeping space and a nice private area at the rear side for BBQ's etc. The fireplace is ideal for cold nights. Thank you
Stephen Gillespie
We had a few problems with the water and power supply. The owner was very responsive and as helpful as possible.
Response from Owner
Hello Stephen Thanks for staying at the Bach and your lovely comments. We are adding another 20 Solar Panels in November which will help the winter battery bank charging. I'm not sure how to combat the -5 degrees and freezing water pipes overnight - waiting for them to thaw during the day and using the spare tank water seems to be the solution in the meantime....All the water pipes are insulated and have proper frost protection - a great part of the attraction of Clearwater is its remoteness and scenery - a small inconvenience of a defrosting water pipe is made up by the surrounds. Pls let me know when your interested in returning. Thank you.
