Hassle-free stay at beautiful Taupo Bay

Susan was a stellar host and was very helpful and approachable! Although an old house, it was clean. Kitchen very well equipped. Two separate living spaces ensured that our large group could spread out without feeling cramped. Front deck with BBQ was a relaxing spot (and the go-to) for everyone to share meals.

Great Spot

Great little spot...just what we needed in a bach for the weekend. Susan was super easy to deal... we were lucky enough for the neighbours to offer Avocados straight from their tree.

I didn't have a chance to spend much time at the property because of other commitments so was really only there for sleeping but what time was spent there was cosy :)

Plenty of space

Fantastic place to stay. Was perfect for us with two families as the back half of the bach is a self contained unit. Really enjoyed the stay and will definitely be looking to come back in the near future!

Amazing location, perfect for large family or group

Loved our stay. Short walk to the beach. The accomodation is essentially 2 units joined together which provides good living space if indoors. We enjoyed that the house was more batchy than perhaps other, more modern alternatives, it meant we could relax - especially with smaller children.

Plenty of space for the family. Very comfy bach feel to the place so we could all relax and enjoy our week at beautiful Taupo Bay. Weather and beach were fabulous. Our littlies loved the short walk to the playground and to the beach. Also good location for tripping around some of the Far North attractions.

Bach suited our group very well, especially with the two units and was not too far away from the Motor Camp where most of the Club's activities were sited. Tsunami warnings made for an unforgettable weekend. Thanks.
