We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Mile Bay
The view from the house and access to the lake is great and the house is really well set up with a great kitchen and it had everything we needed
We had great communication from the property managers which we appreciated when we had a problem
Altogether a great bach

Thank you for your kind review, we hope to host you again another time.
We have stayed quite a few times at this bach over the last 10 years. It is in a marvellous location. It has a beautiful atmosphere and since we were last there (precovid) it has a new kitchen and bathroom. Highly recommend this for families who like to bike and swim.
We loved the house and especially the location.
My only complaint was that due to ongoing window repairs some of the windows would not stay wide open and we had some very hot weather. I guess that will be fixed in due course.

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry the window repairs were not done in time. This will be fixed soon. Glad you have enjoyed your stay.
Fantastic family holiday right on the lakefront. Great bunk room for the kids. So nice to watch the sun set over the mountains after a relaxing day. Hope to be back again soon.
Had a great time, loved having the bike path and the beach right outside the door!
Had a great time, loved having the bike path and the beach right outside the door!! Did get caught out by the bedrooms being so seperate though, as we had children too young to sleep in the bunk room. Would be fantastic for older kids though.
We loved our stay at Waitahanui. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and there was a lot of room for all the adults. We found the house very clean and cosy, with everything we needed. The lake front setting was gorgeous. Already planning our next trip back.
