The fire place was great. It didn't have wifi. Nice big deck and good views. Bodywash was show in the shower would have been useful. Good communication from Bachcare. Pukawa is a beautiful spot. ##### Nick Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine P.

The house has all the basics and the provision of towels and bed linen was appreciated. A new BBQ has been provided. Again, this is appreciated. ##### Tim H. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bevan C. Dec 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Wonderful View and Location Wonderful view of Lake Taupo and the native bush. Birds sung all day. Property could use some work. When the house was shut up for the night it was very hot. Too hot to sleep. May want to consider making fans available as there was noting to cool the house and no bugs screens to leave the windows open. Communication with Bachcare to gain access to the property was shocking. Will be avoiding booking with Bachcare again. ##### Bevan C.
