True Kiwi Bach Experience

Sitting on the shore of the great Lake Taupo is this genuine family bach. Perfectly located 25 mins south of Taupo or 15 mins north of Turangi and 5 seconds from the water! Lovingly extended and updated since it's 1940's fisherman's hut origins. NOTE: For winter stays, there is NO heatpump or fireplace, only wall heaters. In the autumnal months, it is possible for mice to be seen as the temperatures can cool quickly on the central plateau. Keep all food sealed so you don't tempt them inside.
