About this property

Mapou Magic · Classic Kiwi Bach - Great location by the Lake

Welcome to a true blast from the past! Situated in the highly sought-after heart of Two Mile Bay, this cute, retro-style Taupo bach sits just a stone`s throw from the water`s edge. Offering a nostalgic look back at the classic family holidays of yesteryear, this home is an ideal base for families looking to unplug, unwind, and enjoy the lakeside.

This is a very traditional, older Kiwi bach full of vintage character and cozy charm. It features a relaxed living area with a heat pump to keep you perfectly warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

The home features three bedrooms and one bathroom:
Bedroom 1: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 Single Beds
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed and 1 Single Bed

Please note: This home does not have Wi-Fi available, offering a great opportunity to truly switch off. In true classic bach style, the home has a very retro feel and is well-lived-in, meaning a collection of the family`s personal belongings and holiday knick-knacks are present throughout.

Location & Parking
Stunning Location: Situated right across the road from the popular Two Mile Bay boat ramp and the lake.
Boaties` Paradise: Ample off-street parking with plenty of room to safely park both your car and the boat.
