~ the Hunting Huts~ a Fresh Take on the Kiwi Bach

The space
The quintessential kiwi bach, simple and functional, set in complete privacy within our farm on a stunning site high above all else.

Originally hunting huts, this unique holiday home is actually four separate buildings that are linked by a large outdoor deck. We replaced roofing, renewed the decking and renovated the insides to create a unique holiday home that has a special character all its own.

The front two pods are the living spaces: kitchen/dining and lounge each with stacker doors which open up onto the central deck.

The two rear pods are identical in configuration, each split into a double room and a bunk room with internal access to each other, perfect for one family per pod.
The bathroom adjoins the lounge and has a shower over a bath, a toilet and a double vanity. The utility room has washer, dryer and laundry tub and a second toilet. The outdoor shower on the northern deck is a completely open showering experience!

Both double bedrooms enjoy the unequalled lake views and you'll wake to see the sun rising over Mount Tarawera.

A genuine Stoked Hot Tub sits under a pohutukawa on the edge of the front lawn and is a perfect way to relax and enjoy the vista by day and the famous starfilled lake Tarawera sky by night.

The lake bach is ideally suited for...

ROMANTIC ESCAPES
Think fluffy white towels, crisp sheets on a plush super king bed, relaxing together with the stunning lake and mountain backdrop, long soaks in the luxurious Stoked hot tub and cheeky outdoor shower all set in complete privacy and solitude. Ask us about our two guest special pricing!

FAMILY FUN
Each of the two separate sleeping pods are split into a double room and a bunk room with internal access between, so it's perfect for one or two families to holiday together.

TIME OUT WITH FRIENDS
Whether it's relaxing and spending time with friends or exploring all that the region has to offer, the lake bach is a great place to base yourself.

Char-Broil barbecue Bbq and outdoor gas patio heater provided.

Other things to note
**PLEASE NOTE**

Maximum 12 guests on the property at any time.

We advise a maximum of EIGHT ADULTS, please get in touch with us to discuss if you have more than this.

Children only on the top bunks please.

Please respect the serenity of this special location - no party's or loud music.

The front lawn space has a ha-ha, a recessed edge that allows uninterrupted views of the lake and mountain. Although the drop over the edge is less than one metre and onto soft garden, we advise parental awareness of young children and toddlers.

We ask you to keep in mind that these pods were originally hunting huts, so the interior living spaces aren't big, and the buildings are best described as "bachy" (simple and functional finish). They are really comfortable rooms, fully insulated and double glazed throughout apart from the north facing double bedroom which is single glazed.

The hot tub is plumbed into the house water supply for ease of use and to ensure clean, chemical free bathing. To use simply turn on the hot and cold taps at the hot tub. Takes 45 minutes to fill, recommended temperature 28 - 38 celcius, thermometer in hot tub. Fit the cover back on after use, will retain most of its heat to be reused again over the next 24hrs. Please use the coloured beach towels provided when using the hot tub.
