Only downfall was it’s a little bit tired and our vehicle didn’t fit the garage (CX9), so we parked in the driveway, really no big deal. Would happily stay there again. ##### natalie l.

It was extremely clean and we had excellent communication with the property manager. For 5 adults, it was a tight squeeze and a bit uncomfortable. I think 3 adults, or 2 adults kids would enjoy this place. Also, it needs a few upgrades, including the deck chairs (a few should be replaced). But listening to the birds from the deck is so pleasant! ##### Julie C. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda W.

Nice to relax on the deck although the seats are not in great shape and we couldn’t get the umbrella up. Christmas decorations were a nice touch. The shower has very little water output. ##### Lynda W. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### paulette k.

Clean, homely and good location between Woolworths and main Taupo township. Only downfall was the water pressure of the shower and I couldn’t find instructions to use the tv. Tried a few dvd but one never played at all, one got stuck on language option. It wasn’t a deal breaker, we could have contacted the property but decided to play a provided game instead. ##### paulette k. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grahame s. Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### cozy and well equipped getaway Fantastic kitchen and bedrooms. Lounge airy but the couches are to low to get up from without effort. When you sit on them your knees are above your hips. Yes this is partly related to my age ! Great to have a spacious garage to lock up bikes etc. Lovely deck area and a mini wilderness at the rear. ##### Grahame s. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen S. Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Like staying at a friend's bach The bach is older style and a 2-3 min walk from lakefront. If you want shiny kitchens/bathrooms and everything new - maybe this is not for you. If you want charm, a warm welcome (they left Easter eggs for us!), to be away from the main SH1 noise, and a low-key easy place to stay, this is. Bach 70 was one of the few places in Taupo that would allow us to bring our dog and allow him to sleep inside. Communication from Kerry was excellent throughout. While the bach does not have lake views -the lake is only a short stroll away. There is a lovely, private sunny deck at the back overlooking a forested gully. Part of the property is fenced, so pets can be let out safely. Everything worked, including a heat pump for chilly mornings. Sure, there are some chips and cracks - but nothing that mattered.There's a very generous collection of kitchenware and retro board games - and we noticed a baby chair and baby bath for folks with little ones. A great place to stay: like being at a friend's. ##### Helen S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nicole K. Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointed First, I want to start by saying the neighborhood and location were great. Upon arrival the place had minimal upkeep on the exterior. There were cobwebs all over the house and unkept weeds/landscaping.The check in process was easy enough with clear instructions. Inside the home had little to be desired. There were tiles from the ceiling hanging, the loveseat smelled of urine, the water pressure in the shower was terrible and there were bugs all over the bathroom floor. We also removed 2 giant spiders from the beds. Not sure if there was an animal in the attic, but there were large banging noises coming from the ceiling all night long. It sounded like an animal moving around. When we asked about the noise we were not met with a suitable response and the property management company blew us off. We ended up leaving a few days early because the conditions were terrible and we were not comfortable staying there.We contacted the host about an early departure with our complaints and they truly didn't seem to care. I never leave negative reviews, but this place as is should not be rented. ##### Nicole K. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David H.

Communication was great in terms of check in information and facilities for the stay. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you for having the fireplace and heatpump started on a cold winter weekend, it was so good to arrive to a warm place. We loved the fireplace. The house was nice and close to central Taupo and easy to explore the area from. Thanks for the information about things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again. ##### Briar P. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerrit V.
