This was a perfect location for us to stay for the Kinloch Offroad Challenge. Only 5 minutes walk from the start/finish. We stayed for 7 nights and spent time checking out Taupo while there. So glad we did this, as Kinloch has so much character and it was easy to travel the 20 min drive into Taupo for the touristy things we did in town and such a relaxing place to come back to. Out of Auckland, Wellington and Rotarua this was the highlight of our 3 week trip.

It was a perfect size for us as a couple. Very tidy and generally well equipped. We were happy to take our own linen and towels etc. The only thing we felt was missing was a hair dryer.

Functional value

Host communication was good. Checking process seamless.Did not realise it was a studio room/bach until arrival but suited our needs.Was clean and functional.Dated but functional and price reflected this. Would suggest that more appropriate for able bodied folk due to the access to the property.The community and area were amazingly nice and the locals super helpful. Would definitely recommend for a getaway spit. Would also stay again. Amazing comnunity

Great Batch and place to stay. Really nice town

We had a lovely stay. Thank you. The only feedback would be that it became hot for two days since it was sunny and the temperature went up to 26 degrees. Maybe another pedestal fan would be a good idea during the summer.

Comfortable and clean

We all enjoyed our stay here in the peaceful gem of Kinloch. Close to lake and a short drive to Taupō. The place was very comfortable and clean. And it certainly had all that you would need in a kitchen. Outside area was a pleasant surprise. Communication with Jane, the host, was friendly and always quick to reply. Liked that even though she wasnt there she still took the time to message to see if everything was okay.

Wonderful peace and quiet

We really enjoyed this bach which gave us everything we needed. The only thing that slightly confused us was Bookabach saying “this information hasn’t been added yet” re Wi-Fi when “there is no Wi-Fi” would have been clearer; we resolved that issue by visiting a cafe in Taupo which was absolutely fine! Loved swimming in the lake and enjoyed coffee from the Volcanic kiosk by the marina … thanks Jane!
