David 
“Nights were unbearable with the heat, couldn't open all windows although they had magnetic fly screens some were not too effective, bedroom opposite bathroom had bed covered in trout flies.”
We had to go and purchase fans. Perhaps its not a good idea for the property manager to leave all lights/lamps and heated towel rails on for arrival as this made the house a hot box the first night arriving at 8pm. Information in the booklet provided is out of date, when woken at 5am in the morning by a system error on the alarm setting off a sensor or smoke alarm above the fridge to beep continuously was annoying, when contacting the number in the book was advised they hadn't worked for ...
We had to go and purchase fans. Perhaps its not a good idea for the property manager to leave all lights/lamps and heated towel rails on for arrival as this made the house a hot box the first night arriving at 8pm. Information in the booklet provided is out of date, when woken at 5am in the morning by a system error on the alarm setting off a sensor or smoke alarm above the fridge to beep continuously was annoying, when contacting the number in the book was advised they hadn't worked for Bachcare for 6 years. The Bach itself was the clean and tidy, the location although it is further than 25 minutes to Taupo as advertised was ideal for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. We would happily stay again on confirmation something done to improve cooling down property.
- David, January 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and we will certainly work on the issues with the local team. We look forward to welcoming you back! Bachcare

Nadia “Fantastic property, great location and super comfortable beds, it worked very well for our family.”
The blinds in the bunk room were broken and so this is the only problem we had with our kiddies in the room and not being able to get the room dark at bedtime. Apart from that everything else was brilliant!
- Nadia, December 2022Monshiva “Wonderful Bach, very spacious back yard for our cars and trailers.”
Shower was amazing, lots of beds/ room to sleep. Very tidy and clean. Highly recommend holiday home.
- Monshiva, October 2022Tayla “Such a beautiful few days away in the winter school holidays.”
2 families. 3 adults and 5 children. Comfortable and cozy sized house, huge yard, and 300m to a beautiful bay of Lake Taupo with boat ramp access. The house has beautiful decor, great furniture to accomodate guests, comfortable beds. Kids absolutely loved the bunk room. Kitchen is well resourced, actually entire house is. All the small touches like hot water bottles for everyone and the hot outdoor shower- just great. Absolutely great bang for your buck. Highly recommend. Will be back in summertime!
- Tayla, July 2022Caitlin “House is great, beautiful place and location.”
Love the use of Kayaks. Wasn’t thrilled with the cleaning requests including mopping the floors pre departure when we paid a cleaning fee.
- Caitlin, April 2022Hope “Great place for big group!”
- Hope, February 2021Brenner “If your looking for a quiet get away this is the place to be.”
Short distance/walk to lake great for the family.
- Brenner, February 2021Junindi “Awesome stay and location.”
Loved the house and decor, kids enjoyed the big yard. Quick, easy communication with the manager. Thank you so much!
- Junindi, September 2020Cyrene “We had an absolutely wonderful weekend here!”
The bach has everything you need plus more, super cool spot for exploring the area and catered to our family amazingly
- Cyrene, September 2020Delwyn “Great bach close to all activities”
- Delwyn, February 2020Rachael “Excellent location, so close to the lake and central to Taupo, the bike trails and the mountains.”
The house has everything we wanted, fantastic spaces and well appointed.
- Rachael, January 2020May “Taruna Tauranga Taupo Holiday home.”
I and family had an excellent stay. I could rave on. But you would have to experience for yourself. 5 stars all around.
- May, December 2019Clint “Wonderful weekend away with extended family of 7.”
Location was close to boat ramp, where we had fun with the kids biscuiting and caught loads of trout in the early mornings. Look forward to bring further family to experience this ideally located bach.
- Clint, December 2019Belinda “Beautifully presented home with lovely touches like hot water bottles.”
Great space for 2 families, especially ideal with 2 separate toilets and infinity gas hot water. Excellent proximity to the lake with a great little bush walk only 50m from the front door. Super comfortable mattresses. Can't wait to visit again in the summer time to take advantage of the deck and lake.
- Belinda, July 2019Shelley “This is the third time we have stayed at this property.”
We love it's location and the fact that many of us can stay but there is still plenty of room for everyone. It is a great property both Summer and Winter!
- Shelley, July 2019Teresa “We found this to be a beautiful home away from home.”
The decor was absolutely beautiful. There were activities/games and videos etc for the evenings. The kitchen was really good including standard appliances + dishwasher and all the crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment that you could possibly hope for at a holiday home. Best bedding fit would be for two couples and four children as the 4 bunks are best suited for children but we did have two shorter adults using two of the bunk beds.
- Teresa, May 2019Sam “Well equipped bach in a great location.”
A fantastic base for our two families for a weekend away. We’re already discussing the next visit!
- Sam, March 2019Donna “This is a superb bach - but Bachcare have let the owner down here which is a shame - someone else's rubbish left in the kitchen bin.”
TV didn't work, tinfoil under the stove elements was very dirty. No key left for use of outdoor furniture and BBq. Bathroom sink was blocked.
- Donna, February 2019Hi Donna, we're very sorry your experience with Bachcare was not up to our usual high standards. We have passed your feedback on to our team and will ensure this does not happen for future guests. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and hope you will give us a chance to make this up to you in future. Bachcare
Samuel “It was very clean, good location and great value for money”
- Samuel, November 2018Tiffany “This home was absolutely stunning and went beyond expectations.”
Next time we will take the kayaks out for a spin as the children really wanted too but we were unable to this time around. This home was close to Turangi and Taupo and it fit in well with what we were doing during this stay. Thank you.
