About this property

Lake view, lake level, lake side

Wake up and smell the fresh lake and mountain air from this comfortable and cosy original kiwi bach. Lovely lake views from the kitchen and lounge with a safe, sandy, swimming beach right at the end of the lawn.

Heat pump ensures the house is nice and warm in the winter and air conditioned in the summer to keep you cool if required.

If you want a holiday where you can fish, waterski, snow ski, swim, close to great walking tracks, ten minutes from hot pools, get some peace and quiet, do lots of relaxing and reading - then look no further.

Plenty of room for tents on the front lawn and parking for a boat and a couple of cars. Boat ramp at the end of the driveway.

Very quiet lake house

Great view and access to the swimming beach. A little rustic but that made it all the more cozy. If the kids are looking forward to wifi there is none available so more dedicated family time.
