Absolutely delightful

Lovely small home, surrounded by native bush and birdsong, and only a five min walk down a quiet laneway to the lake.Very comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces. Only one place in town to eat out so a kitchen with all amenities for cooking was much appreciated and enjoyed.We loved our stay here - hoping to come back and stay again.

Great Bach

We loved staying here, bach was above expectations. It was very clean , comfortable, warm and beautiful surroundings. Position handy to lake and village. The beds were comfortable with good supply of duvets.The fire was lovely as weather cold when we went and a plentiful supply of cut wood. Plenty of room outside for turning with a boat. Host was very good to deal with. Look forward to staying here again.

We had a lovely two night stay at the Bellbird Bach. Everything was tidy and the place was warm and cosy in the winter weather. Really close to the roto which was great and a short hīkoi to the alpine lodge for a meal. Thanks so much!
