Book a Makarora Cottage

"The bach was a comfortable family bach with everything you could need. The scenery breathtaking with lots of water holes to explore along the river.The owner was easy to communicate with and made sure we knew everything we needed to know about the bach and area."

"We are campers, so understand what's involved in living in a campground. The lake was beautiful. The tents nice. We did not use the heaters though it was cold, till morning. Bedding was great. The restroom was a bit of a walk but a port o let was available closeby for those midnight bathroom calls. The kitchen was well supplied. The only microwave was available in the central kitchen. All in all, it was a good experience. "

"This was exactly what I needed. The dome was peaceful, the staff were friendly, and breakfast was great!"

"What a fabulous property! Lake front, safe, next to a fantastic walking path, close to shopping, tucked in perfectly (privacy) so it feels like you are off the beaten path and away from the hustle of town. Excellent communication from the friendly and welcoming owner. This was my favorite spot we stayed in while in NZ. Highly recommend. "

"Lovely place. Kind people. "

"Great house in a great location. Perfect for families. Clean and tidy with great supplies (cleaning products, towels etc). Would recommend!"

"A cute cottage nestled against the forest"

"We really enjoyed our three night stay over Christmas this year. The check in process was easy with the lock box, and when we first got into the house were amazed at how cool the style and decor was. We had a fabulous stay - the huge lounge was perfect for hanging out in and there was a dining table for us all to sit around at meal times and also to play one of the many boardgames in the cupboard. The hot tub was big enough for all of us and we loved that we could just walk down to the lake for a dip! The listing did say that there was a heated pool, but it's just the hot tub there (caused a bit of confusion for one guest). Overall we really loved it and would recommend staying here to anyone! "

"Absolute lake front. Heaps of space for our family group of 9."
