Special Amenities

Important information – please read before booking The upstairs and downstairs areas do not have internal access. Access between levels is via external stairs only. The external stairs have shorter spacing between steps and may require extra care, particularly for young children, older guests, or anyone with mobility considerations. The bunk beds in the downstairs area do not have safety rails. The top bunks are not suitable for very young children or guests who require bed safety barriers. Please ensure the layout is appropriate for your group before booking. The house is set in a natural bush environment, consistent with a traditional Kiwi bach setting. As the property may have gaps between bookings, there can occasionally be some dust and the presence of insects typical of a bush location (usually dead). Guests should be comfortable with a bach-style stay in a natural setting, rather than expecting a sealed, resort-style environment. This is part of the charm of staying close to nature and Lake Tarawera, and we do our best to prepare the house carefully prior to each stay.

Nathan and Andrea
Nice peaceful spot with good privacy. Excellent access and parking with plenty of space for the boat and extra vehicles - a rarity at Tarawera. Great location with a very short wander to the Bayview boat ramp. Kayaks were a great bonus. Lovely, friendly community at this end of the lake. Owners excellent to deal with and nothing a problem. Thanks so much Quent and Mel for sharing your property with us.
Greer
Beautiful quiet spot, well equipped house with a good entertainment selection for when you're not out and about enjoying all the area has to offer. Great host communication.
Nathan
