Lovely to be so close to the beach and ramp; nice homely bach with lovely big living room and deck, v clean kitchen and bath. Laid back, relaxing, much loved bach. Nice walks & beach & river. New shower, washing machine and dryer; old oven. Bring your own linen, towels, books (bach books mostly good for rugby fans), games, jigsaws. Parking ok for 8m boat, 3 small and 1 large car. Street rubbish & recycling collected early Monday; rubbish bag stickers 3 from local shop.
Lovely spot right on the lake lots to do with walks a local cafe and the lake activities. Comfortable and easy holiday with the family and out little dog.
Great view and access to the swimming beach. A little rustic but that made it all the more cozy. If the kids are looking forward to wifi there is none available so more dedicated family time.
Was a great location and accurate in description, roomier than I had anticipated.
Although winter and typical older style bach it was warm and cosy.
Definitely would be back.
Stayed with family at the relaxing lakeside bach. Spent time walking, swimming and boating. Was great being handy to everything. Bach was comfortable with everything we needed.
Great spot, so much to do with the kids and easy to get to boat ramp. Lovely location, would love to be back asap and really didn’t want to leave. Cool kiwi batch!
super easy communication and a pleasure to deal with!
We loved our stay in Kuratau - being right next to the swimming area and boat ramp was fantastic - our family could park at the house and walk down to the ski area to meet us at the boat and we could just pop out and swim whenever the heat got too much. It meant we really got to enjoy making use of the lake. Would love to come back!
A restful place for 2 very tired people.
The Freeview tv didn’t work but all else was fab.
VRBO sent us a CheckIn process… the codes sent kept coming faster than 15 minutes as was meant to be so the CheckIn emailed code was a disastrous experience.
The heaters in the bedroom didn't work. House is uninsulated, so not good for winter. Dog exercise area was fantastic. The lighting in the lounge was terrible for reading and knitting, which we did a lot of when the TV reception failed on our last night. The kitchen lighting was also pretty bad. I don't remember if the property description said that there was no WIFI, but there wasn't. That would have been okay if we'd been able to read or knit in the evening, but the lighting prevented that. And the mattress in the main bedroom was way past its use-by date.
The batch is old, I was a little disappointed on arrival that one of the bedrooms stunk of cigarettes (ah the days when people smoked inside), the carpet was covered in dog hair and has likely been years since the batch has had a good vacuum (I tried but the vacuum cleaner was useless). We had to fix up handles that fell off pans, struggled with the oven (and bbq) and had to fix some of the slats in the master bedroom after a terrible night's sleep. BUT all that aside with 2 toddlers, and dogs in tow the home being rough actually made it a very relaxed holiday as we were not worried about shoes inside etc etc. The location is prime! Right on the lake and the section was great for an Easter egg hunt. We had a great time and would come back.
