Classic Kiwi Bach – Walk to Town & Lakes

Classic Kiwi Bach..

Just a 2-minute stroll to town, this 3-bedroom bach is the perfect base for your Mackenzie Country escape. Enjoy a sunny deck, child-friendly section, heat pump, free WiFi, and all the essentials.

Close to lakes, fishing spots, cafes, fairy forest, Omarama’s Clay Cliffs & pools, star gazing, scenic walks, pump track, and Tekapo. Relax or explore!

Note: This is not a full time air bnb, it is a private owned family bach/crib, available at certain times of the year when we are not requiring it, it is quirky and is set up simple.. kiwi, with all the basics!

Host was great with answering any questions and very prompt. House was as advertised- classic Kiwi Bach with plenty of beds. Liked the deck and fenced in yard and you could walk to downtown area. I thought the price was a little high compared to our other VRBO's and was only place available for our date but could be in high tourist area. It was a great place for our one night stay.

Spacious inside with a great backyard. Walkable to all we wanted in town and an easy drive to Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Kudos to the host who was helpful and responsive.

Great accomodation for the price, had everything we needed and in a convenient location as well. The host was helpful and accommodating. Whilst it is not a modern building, no complaints as it gets the job done and is good value for how much it cost. Thank you!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
住屋外觀，前、後花園很漂亮，停車位充足，足夠停泊三輛車，屋內設施則略為殘舊，櫃內有很多雜物存放，浴室沒有浴簾，每次洗澡後地面很濕，洗衣機有點髒，其他床褥、廚房用具還可以，不過屋主Summer很好，每次查詢都很快回覆，且主動介紹附近景點和餐廳。

Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen, aber sauber. Viele getrennte Schlafmöglichkeiten.Ein Tipp an die Gastgeber...bitte andere Handtücher, die haben gar nicht getrocknet und 1-2 mehr Abtrockentücher...
