Summary: Our second stay. The location is just amazing, the bach is cozy, homely, simple, and all you need. Feels like you have the lake to yourselves. Look forward to going again.

Summary: The bach was in an ideal location. Beds were comfortable and clean. Only complaint was that there was a definite rodent problem. With new mice droppings found daily throughout the kitchen cupboards and one mouse running through the lounge mid day. so we had to try fit all our food in the fridge for the stay. The kids absolutely loved the place and being so close to the lake for swimming.

Summary: Just a few days R&R and very lucky with weather - hot, sunny, no wind & a lake of glass just a matter of steps away.. usually very few people, even in mid-summer holiday peak. Water was a delight & just 3 steps and you're waist deep - perfect. Cabin was exactly as expected so no grizzles here, but with the oven out-of-action the benchtop grill I brought was ideal. In fact I had the basics with me so didn't need to call on many of the available resources, but they're sure there. A previous review damned the door-key security box as fiddly & a challenge.. they were right.. I cursed the thing & had trouble - no "CLEAR" or "OPEN" buttons to be seen [as per instructions] - but perseverance won.. making this task more user-friendly would be a good improvement. But a terrific spot & highly recommended - but accept it for what it is !

Summary: Really nice. Only real issue was combination lock on key safe on the door , it was jammed up pretty bad (I've had the last 3 months dealing with them before I arrived) anyway after numerous attempts I gave up and found I had absolutely no way to contact owner manager or anyone for help so I had one more crack and got in. Not moaning just stating facts. After that all good

Summary: It’s a real kiwi Bach on a gorgeous spot. Kids loved it ! Fire risk was low so we had gorgeous fires with marsh mellows ! No WIFI but that suited us fine. Hardly any toilet paper… that was not very handy, otherwise it was all perfect. I contacted the hosts mobile never got an answer. Don’t know what went wrong there. Also the key lock box was a real mission and I almost gave up. You need to hear every number give a tiny “click” otherwise no luck…

Summary: Classic kiwi batch, best memory is watching the crescent moon and Venus chase each other down with the setting sun.

Summary: My partner and I totally enjoyed a week long stay in Maren’s cosy lake whare. Over and above, we loved that the cottage has been left to shine in all its authenticity as an original Kiwi bach, while offering all the modern comforts one needs for a relaxing break away from the hustle of daily life. All the previous comments posted are spot on. Waitetoko bach is an true delight from the first approach. It humbly tries to allow it’s peaceful and untouched natural lakefront position be the star of the show, but all who step through it’s doors are equally charmed by what Waitetoko offers on the inside. Character in spades, scrupulously clean, well equipped, sun-filled comfy spaces, post card views, cosy and safe - a real delight. Most certainly we will return. Thank you so much Maren for your professional and friendly hospitality and for sharing your wee treasure.
