Summary: This was our second time staying at Linga-Longa and it was just as great as the first time. The bach is well equipped, comfortable and clean. The views of the lake are fantastic and there is plenty of room to park a boat out in front on the berm. Kelli and Richard were great to deal with and helpful, and easy to contact if needed. Whareroa is a great place to visit with a good beach and good boat ramp. Bring enough provisions for a number of days and you’ll never have to leave and just enjoy the laidback vibe!

Summary: The bach overlooks the lake at quiet Whareroa. We had a group of three adults and one 12 year old, easily accommodated in the three bedroom bach. Its large living area is comfortable and its kitchen very functional with plenty of kitchenware for cooking. The fish were co-operative, too. The owner was responsive to messages, made access to the bach easy, and was open to us arriving a little earlier than usual and leaving a little later. I warmly recommend it.
