Perfect for family

Great spot on the lake’s edge. Ours was a mixed group of grandparents, parents and children ranging from 2-14, so perfect for us. Weather let us down, but we were nice and toasty inside with the wood burner going. We will definitely book again for future family catch-ups.

Winter getaway

Great long weekend with family and grandkids . The fire was kept going most if the time and kept the place cosy. Great duplex living each family having their own space. Max was easy to work with and very obliging when we had a car issue and required a last minute late checkout.

Fantastic bach in a fantastic location

Great place for families/ friends holidaying together as everyone gets their own space with upstairs and downstairs being self-contained. The house is very well equipped and the location could not be more perfect - plenty to watch and do with the lake right on the doorstep. The owner Max is great to deal with and responds to all emails and questions very promptly. We had a wonderful holiday at the Toy Bach and plan to stay there again sometime.

A perfect place for a holiday with the extended family

A perfect place for a holiday with the extended family. We had 4 families across both the Toy Bach and the Kramphouse, and each of us had our own space but plenty of room to also be altogether for shared meals and game playing. We made excellent use of the kayaks and trampoline, swam in the lake, tried to 'skip' pumice and went for lots of meanders along the lake edge. Couldn't have asked for better. Hopefully can round up the troops and be back for another holiday here in the future.
