About this Holiday House

Our bach is a Scandinavian designed A-frame house built-in 1983. There are 4 levels and 3 of which are by a timber spiral staircase. The walls adorn memorabilia and the furniture reflects the era. You'll love the colorful sunset at night from the deck. Located on the edge of Lake Rotoiti with access through the Tikitere pine forest from SH30. Walking tracks and swimming are close by. Trout fishing at its best.There s plenty of parking and the boat ramp is only 2 minutes away. The old-world charm at the bach is great for relaxing and unwinding.

Hayley Wells
What a fabulous secret hideaway this is! 20 minutes or so out of the city in a rural Lakeview private bush scaped area. Stunning to see Tuis which we very rarely if ever see where I live. Absalutly perfect for children with my Grandson still talking about the incredible staircase in the central area leading to the two upstairs bedrooms! Unfortunatly the weather gods were agai st us so we couldn't manage to walk down to the beach area to discover the hot water beach. The communication from the owner and Hannah who manages the property was just outstanding!!!! This is a true Bach feel, fab views, great shower and all you need for a lovely family holiday away. We stayed 1 week, slept like babies and wished we could have stayed longer. This home must be totally fantastic in summer!!!! Just a warning...the Navman will take you to an non existent road but about 150 metres up is the actual turnoff (Coming from Rotorua end)
