Excellent stay in stunning location
Lovely bach property 5 - 7 mins walk to lake edge surrounded by native trees and bush. Lots of birdsong. Plenty of parking and sunshine. Large deck area. Good size kitchen dining lounge for 6- 8. 2 bedrooms - each has a double / queen and a set of bunk beds so 4 in each room if needed. Good quality comfortable mattress on all beds. Great communication and easy check in. My only quibble would be bookabach fees were almost the same as a nights stay - if this included cleaning fair enough. However this wouldn’t necessarily stop me staying again as a lovely stay in one of most favourite parts of the world.

Great Bach
We loved staying here, bach was above expectations. It was very clean , comfortable, warm and beautiful surroundings. Position handy to lake and village. The beds were comfortable with good supply of duvets.The fire was lovely as weather cold when we went and a plentiful supply of cut wood. Plenty of room outside for turning with a boat. Host was very good to deal with. Look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful Bellbird Bach
We were so happy we stayed here. Although it was chilly on arrival the heatpump had been turned on to warm the place up before we arrived. The bach was exactly as listed. Everything we needed was there. It was warm with the fire and heatpumps. The beds were comfy. A short walk/bike ride to the lake. Was the perfect place for our mid winter escape. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely two night stay at the Bellbird Bach. Everything was tidy and the place was warm and cosy in the winter weather. Really close to the roto which was great and a short hīkoi to the alpine lodge for a meal. Thanks so much!

Beautiful home. Super comfy. Suited us brilliantly. Lovely living area opening onto a deck with outdoor table and bbq. Bbq was a challenge - one burner very hot, the other only low heat but all good. Beautiful birdsong. Will be back!

We enjoyed two great nights at Bell bird bach. Very well presented and has everything you need. Lots of bed options for kids. The place has been meticulously planned out which makes arriving in the rain, with laundry and tired kids perfect. Oh and there’s a big tv with Netflix… happy days. We’ll be back.
