“An idylic spot with stunning views across the lake.”

Bird sounds abound and you feel relaxed from the minute you enter. Has the fanastic combination of feeling like you are in a quintessential kiwi bach you went in your childhood (condensed readers digests anyone!) but with all the modcons. Lovely linens and art finish off the feeling. While we visited in very late summer will be back for winter to enjoy the pot belly stove. Highly recommend.

“Shower was terrible no pressure at all- rail needed for steps outside night light would be great- a note from owners on what needs to be done for example bob day - where to put rubbish as there was not adequate bins… driveway needed paint or something for night arrival as it’s a rather steep driveway!”

Would not recommend this property! Needed a bit if a dust as well- plus too busy with things all around!, especially as we have five adults not a lot of room to move around!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations and appreciate your insights. - **Shower Pressure & Cleanliness:** We’ll address the water pressure and improve our cleaning procedures. ** With thanks to feedback we have now replaced the showerhead which was the cause for the poor flow. - **Safety & Lighting:** Your suggestions for a handrail, night light, and driveway markings are valuable, and we’ll work on these improvements. **Newly installed solar lighting provides guidance into driveway. A sensor light has also been installed at entrance door. - **Property Guidelines:** We’ll provide clearer instructions for rubbish disposal and other tasks. **Rubbish bins are now located under the meter box. You are welcome to use these which will be cleared by Bachcare after your stay. Should you wish to dispose rubbish yourself there is the Omori Refuse Station (7 mins away, Bay further over) and a refuse station at Turangi. - **Space:** We’ll also assess how to make the property feel more spacious for larger groups. **We have now made some extra room by removing some chairs in the lounge area and master bedroom. Still plenty of seats for everyone . We value your input and are committed to making changes for future guests. Warm regards, Bachcare

The property

Want to relax nestled amongst trees? Watch local birdlife including Pīwakawaka (Fantails), Tuī, Kererū (Wood Pigeons)? Wonder at the views across beautiful Lake Taupō, breathtaking in any weather or season? Hauraki Haven, located just 12- minutes by car from Turangi, is your next bach to come and stay. Your next adventure. This two-bedroom bach is well equipped and able to support up to six guests comfortably. It may be a smaller bach, but has everything you need for your time away. The open plan living area includes a spacious kitchen equipped with essentials of a fridge freezer, microwave, standalone oven, large sandwich press, electric fry pan, and plenty of serve ware for your catering needs. Designed with relaxation in mind, enjoy taking in views from the deck, or relax in the lounge nestled in a cosy nook around the pot belly stove, great for those cool winter evenings or getting away from the sun! The main bedroom entertains a beautiful outlook harnessing the lake vista. Go to sleep under the stars and wake up to beautiful sunrises. Enjoy a morning cuppa from the warmth of your bed, and take the panorama in - no two days are the same. The twin bedroom is a perfect size for the kids or friends staying with you. There is a laundry with washing machine and tub, clothes airer (string clothesline outside) which cojoins with the bathroom. A decent sized room with a shower/bath to enable you to enjoy a relaxing soak after a long day exploring. We have updated some features in the bathroom including a shiny new shower head. As for all Bachcare properties, we take safety seriously - smoke detectors are located and checked regularly in this property. Solar lighting has also been installed to help guide your entry down the driveway, and a sensor light at the back door. Come and visit Hauraki Haven, your gateway to the central North Island and exploration of destinations awaits you. If you after restaurants and cafes, best head to Taupō but if you are after a tranquil stay away from it all, head over our way, to Pūkawa Bay.

Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

About the location

Located on the Southern end of Lake Taupo, Pukawa Bay is known for a tranquil native bush setting with walking tracks weaving through it. Water activities are also popular here, including boating, kayaking and fishing. For keen birdwatchers, keep your ears tuned to birdsong from Tūī and Bellbirds. All of our Pukawa Bay holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
