Kara 
“Beautiful big house, great view looking at Taupo lake.”
Highly recommend for a large group that want to relax in a peaceful environment.

Jemma “We enjoyed our stay, thank-you.”
The house is well-equipped and really spacious; accommodating our two families comfortably. Being able to walk to the lake along the walkway was great. We would stay again! Only hiccup was the hot water was turned off. It was hot when we arrived but soon ran out. Quickly reheated when we flicked the switch next to the cylinder.
- Jemma, February 2024Ezatullah “Hi, The property could do with a heat pump upstairs and down stairs and heaters in the rooms, as the fire place is inbuilt in the wall not much heat comes out, also the lock should have option of locking with hand not just key.”
- Ezatullah, September 2023Sobhna “Hi It was lovely staying in that house really spacious and too good for 10 people The only complain I have is the hot water system was very poor and water leakage on the ground floor just under the top shower This has to be fixed asap as this can cause water damage to all flooring.”
To avoid water falling on carpet I had to keep 2 buckets. I don’t know what type of hot water supply is there but I’ll always recommend to connect an infinity gas hot water system It really doesn’t matter if we have to pay more but end of the day at least we get a nice warm shower and not a freezing one. Thanks
- Sobhna, August 2023Thank you for providing this feedback Sobhna and we can assure you that the hot water system has been repaired. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at this wonderful spacious home! Bachcare
Pauline “The house was mostly used for sleeping as we were with family down the road for a birthday weekend.”
However it was comfortable and had everything. The only feedback would be the downstairs was quite cold (not that we ended up using the bedrooms) just the shower and toilet. And it took us a moment to find the outdoor lighting which we needed as it was dark walking back up to the house. Otherwise we would absolutely use this house again and are already making plans too re book.
- Pauline, May 2023Kelly “Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.”
It was perfect for our large group, with lots of space, great facilities and clean and tidy.
- Kelly, February 2023Emily “Great stay, great setup would certainly recommend”
- Emily, December 2022Greg “The batch was exactly what was needed to house a party of 10.”
Great views from the deck and lounge area. Clean and functional and a new full gas bottle for the BBQ to boot. Only issue was that Batchcare and or the property manager never got back to us about our concerns when we arrived at the batch, even though we were promised that they would... We would certainly stay at this venue again.
- Greg, October 2022Reta “This home was better than we expected.”
Everything we needed and more. We were a little apprehensive that the rooms downstairs would be too cold but they were perfect once heaters were turned on. We loved the garage and both levels had plenty of room for our family. This home is beautifully spacious and has plenty enough of room for big families. Kitchen and lounge were perfect for our needs. House was so good that my children asked to go home early after every activity just to spend time inside - that doesn't happen often. Thank you for a beautiful stay. We will be back for sure.
- Reta, October 2022Farman “Beautiful place to for holidays see you next time again”
- Farman, September 2022Robert “The holiday home was excellent and perfect size for our extended family.”
- Robert, July 2022Sonam “This house was beautiful spacious living room and dining area… rooms were okay.”
Loved the fire place but it wasn’t enough heating throughout the house as there were only two heaters. The kitchen was nice and big and outside area was beautiful. There was a leak on the downstairs area as the light had fallen off.. but overall well priced and would recommend others to stay here. We’re looking forward to coming again for another holiday.
- Sonam, July 2022Netanya “We stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect.”
So much room and had everything we needed. Loved the fire place and the electric blankets really helped too! Would definitely recommend this to others and would book again for sure!
- Netanya, June 2022Dylan “Great location and beautiful home to stay in.”
Would recommend to others and oook forward to the next visit
- Dylan, March 2022DESIRE “I stayed here with my family so we could be close to the snow.”
It was raining all weekend however we didn't mind staying inside as the house was cosy and warm. The home is spacious, clean and has everything you need for your stay away. The kitchen is also well equipped. Highly recommend to large families as there is enough space you wont be in each others faces. We will definitely be back!
- DESIRE, July 2021Angela “AWESOME trip.”

- Angela, June 2021Emmet “Very happy to recommend this house lovely and spacious in good location”
- Emmet, January 2021Kirsty “It was comfortable, well equipped and clean.”
Great spot
- Kirsty, December 2020Tracey “Amazing place and great service, easy and efficient thanks”
- Tracey, February 2020Emad “+ Good location, supportive property manager, big house, generaly clean rooms, kitchen and toilet/bathrooms.”
We were allowed stay the day of checkout as no one booked it that day. We also got early check in. - Could be extremely hot in summers including night times and opening up the windows will allow mosquitoes and other insects to come in. Lots of spiders on the ceiling and walls in the entire house. Lots of expired used and unused food items in the kitchen, some of it we got rid of with the help of property manager Mike.
- Emad, January 2020Thanks for your review Emad. It has been a very hot summer, and while we cannot control the weather we do always clearly set out whether a property has AC on the Amenities list. We're glad you were able to get assistance from your Holiday Manager Mike, that is the beauty of our local Holiday Managers, they're always close by and ready to help! We'd love to welcome you back in the future. Bachcare
Gloria “Beautiful well equipped house- everything about the house was beautiful.”
We were amazed at how spacious the layout was, a backyard with lemon tree, everything you'd need in a kitchen and a beautiful view of Lake Taupo from the top deck. Highly recommend to large families who want a nice cosy warm stay :)
- Gloria, January 2020Andrew “Excellent, spacious house, very comfortable”
- Andrew, December 2019Kathleen “A home with a lovely view and plenty of space.”
There was a very pleasant patio and a great barbecue which we very much enjoyed. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and crockery and the facilities were good. However there were a lot of things left by the owner that made it seem very much someone else's home; the fridge and pantry contained all sorts.The rooms had good storage and were comfortable and I think it was good value for money.
- Kathleen, November 2019Hi Kathleen, thanks for your feedback about your recent stay at Kaimanawa Lookout. It's always valuable to receive this sort of infoformation, there is an additional fridge and freezer in the garage, we are sorry this was not avalible during your stay. We're happy to hear you otherwise enjoyed your stay in Omori and look forward to welcoming you back again. Bachcare
Tiini “This property was great to stay at,plenty of room.”
- Tiini, November 2019Felix “The property had a good flow for our group and we especially liked the large living area with the fireplace and lake views.”
The rooms were mostly removed enough to give some privacy as well. The facilities / amenities available were of a good quality and we enjoyed our stay. The fact the kitchen was large enough for multiple people was a bonus. Would definitely return.
