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, 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. Out of Mobile phone coverage unless "mobile over wifi". 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. 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 * 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 :)

Very comfortable, all we needed
Response from Owner
Thank you Lynne - it was lovely to have you stay and thank you for the lovely feedback. It is nice to be able to share this amazing location with guests. The upgrades and improvements made to the Bach during and after Covid have resulted in a great location and a great place to stay at - it is always nice to hear back from guests and that we can meet your expectations and facilitate a great stay for you x:)

Fantastic Bach for a getaway. Great deck space both font and back of bach to either seek shelter from the sun or wind, kitchen had everything we needed.

Classic Kiwi bach with a few quirks. Unfortunately the 240v power system wasn't working throughout our stay so we had a trickle of cold water only indoors, no shower & no lighting. Apparently there is wifi locally where we could have contacted the owner but we were completely unaware of this. It was functional but not particularly clean including an oven tray covered in crumbs & cheese left in the oven. Thankfully the fire worked well & Lake Clearwater itself is an amazing spot with plenty of outdoor adventures to be had. We didn't feel it was very good value for money especially with the above niggles.
