Cheryl 
“The bach is basic old school but we like that about it.”
Very close to the lake. Warm and cozy with the heat pump and fire. The 4 bunk beds are sagging and not comfortable at all and really only suited to young children. We thought the front porch could have been swept or hosed down before our arrival by the cleaners. Loved our stay

- Alan, January 2023Ben “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
Lovely spot and well set up house in beautiful surrounds. Very comfortable. Arrived in polar blast but house was nice and warm. Be good if some wood could be included for burner as shop was out and we had to buy in Turangi. Minor quibble. We loved it

- Tim, February 2022Alan “The property is in a great spot close to the lake and good for families pently of room for the kids dog to run around”
- Alan, January 2022Richard “Lovely old bach in a great location on a large section.”
Our family of 4 (plus 2 grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it. Made even more special as by chance it was the same bach that the grandparents had stayed in on their first visit to Kuratau 54 years ago! As keen fishers and hunters we appreciated the selection of old books and obvious history on show.

- Jeremy, October 2021Helen “Great property, great location.”
- Helen, April 2021Hayley “Great kiwi bach, well priced for its amenities and location.”
We loved our stay with family, perfect for two couples as the downstairs bedroom has the extra toilet. Very peaceful property with lovely walks close by.
- Hayley, March 2021Suzanne “Kuratau Bach is a lovely older style Bach with heaps of character.”
It is situated on a large tree-clad section, about one minutes walk from Kuratau rivermouth & Lake Taupo. A reserve on the other side of the river ensures that bird life is abundant. It truly is a delightful place for a holiday. The Bach has every you need & is always clean and tidy.

Handy to to lake and boat ramp. Very good location for young kids. We had a very good time with our grand children.
- Alan, January 2021Miranda “Great, typical Kiwi bach.”
Location is just a 1 minute stroll to the lake.
- Miranda, January 2021Jackie “A lovely tranquil place to stay during the spring, with masses of birdlife and a stone's throw to the lake.”
Ideal for dogs with both on-leash and off-leash areas on the lake.
- Jackie, October 2020Suzanne “Once again this property was exactly the home away from home.”
Warm enough needs and space for our lot. And the kids love that it is just across the road from the lake and lots of bike riding
- Suzanne, October 2020Aaron “Perfect spot with lots of local history hidden in the bookshelf for the rainy days.”
- Aaron, September 2020Graeme “This place is cute, characterful, and homely.”
Has everything you need. Very quiet area with lots of native birds and an incredible lake view around the corner. It's exceptionally clean. Couldn't find any way of hanging clothes up though.
- Graeme, March 2020Thanks for your review Graeme and we're thrilled you had a wonderful time at Kuratau Bach. We've passed on your suggestion to the property owner for review. Hope to see you back again soon. Bachcare

- Suzanne, February 2020Suzanne “Kuratau Bach is delightful - an older style Bach but with all the comforts.”
Just as a Bach should be! The location is perfect, just a 2 minute walk to the lake and the river, very convenient for using kayaks. It is a peaceful corner of Kuratau and the bird life is wonderful.

A fantastic "Kiwi Family" bach.
- Stu, October 2018Kathryn “The Bach is very beachy but perfect for our family, loved the location and had everything we needed.”
Could do with better knives and Omori Store was out of wood so best not to rely on that but there were heaters.
- Kathryn, October 2018Hi Kathryn, thank you so much for your feedback and we're glad that you loved the location - we do too! Thank you for the heads up about the knives, we've let the owner know! Glad to hear the heaters kept you toasty! Bachcare

On the opposite side of the lake to Taupo, Kuratau is a small peaceful town with plenty of outdoor activities on offer. Spend the day out on the water with kayaks, boats and water skis, or go fly fishing for rainbow trout in the Tongariro River. Being further away from the bustle of Taupo, it's also an ideal location for a relaxing holiday to get away from it all. All of our Kuratau holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
