Great Batch and place to stay. Really nice town
We had a lovely stay. Thank you. The only feedback would be that it became hot for two days since it was sunny and the temperature went up to 26 degrees. Maybe another pedestal fan would be a good idea during the summer.

Comfortable and clean
We all enjoyed our stay here in the peaceful gem of Kinloch. Close to lake and a short drive to Taupō. The place was very comfortable and clean. And it certainly had all that you would need in a kitchen. Outside area was a pleasant surprise. Communication with Jane, the host, was friendly and always quick to reply. Liked that even though she wasnt there she still took the time to message to see if everything was okay.

Wonderful peace and quiet
We really enjoyed this bach which gave us everything we needed. The only thing that slightly confused us was Bookabach saying “this information hasn’t been added yet” re Wi-Fi when “there is no Wi-Fi” would have been clearer; we resolved that issue by visiting a cafe in Taupo which was absolutely fine! Loved swimming in the lake and enjoyed coffee from the Volcanic kiosk by the marina … thanks Jane!

Stressful start
The check in process had us thinking we were sleeping in our car for the night. What was meant to be a relaxing weekend away was anything but. Not being able to contact owner after numerous phone calls and an hour on the phone to book a batch call centre put a dampener on our stay. The offer of a later check out to make up didn’t really make up for the stress. The accommodation itself was fine although the temperature inside on a hot day after room being locked up all day meant sleeping with the windows open required lots of bug spray. Aircon unit would have helped. On the positive side it was spotlessly clean and a very quiet spot to stay.

Perfect for a quiet weekend away!
Recently stayed here & it was such a treat! The batch was perfect for us during our stay & soo close to the water. The owners were very approachable & kind! Was a weekend away with some friends & was awesome to find owners who didn’t judge us for our age. Will definitely come back to stay ☺️

Simple, clean and comfortable
Easy check in process, good communication from the host, clean and tidy and comfortable for us. for a small place it is very well laid out, good outdoor area, decent bathroom with good water pressure in the shower. Overall a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, we look foward to coming back. A couple of things to note that did not bother us to much but may bother others are some of the things other people have said in reviews + the top bunk is very spongy and the bunk frame is pretty worn out and loose, there is no shower consumables so bring your own (we always do anyway) and the steps are not well lit and slippery in the rain so could do with some attention. It does clearly state to bring your own bedding and linen however I would Expect the beds to have sheets/mattress protectors for hygiene purposes - they did not. We found the kitchen perfectly adequate so unsure why others were commenting on it (the fridge is definitely very noisy however). The place is warm and dry, very simple and homely and overall was an excellent stay with a great location- highly recommend
