Relax, Unwind or go Hard on the Lake - Just a 3-min Walk From our Basic Bach

Our basic bach is just that..... basic, no extras to charge for here! To keep costs down we don't supply any linen/towels - just bring your own. Don't mistake basic for unloved, we love it's simplicity and hope you will too.

Located on Rangatira Drive, our basic bach is close to local amenities. 5-min walk to the Four Square, Cafe or Fish & Chip shop. Pop to the lake - a short 3-min walk. Great boat ramp to easily load in and out or if it's busy park the trailer at the bach and you're golden.

Enjoy any number of activities ranging from a round of golf at the scenic local course, to hiking and biking along the Waikator River Trails.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
