Stayed December 2020Surprisingly spacious cottage, very comfortable with a lake view. The huge deck adds bonus space in good weather. Great place to relax. We felt like kings and queens of Kuratau staying here.
Steff
Stayed November 2020This property was an absolute dream!!! The owners were so helpful and accommodating, the hot tub is a perfect perfect touch and we spent pretty much the entire afternoon in it. The beds are sooo comfortable and the general house is just perfect. I could have spent all day in the bathroom - beautiful tub and powerful shower has you feeling amazing after a big day. Location was perfect, overlooking the lake, what a dream to wake up to that view. Cannot fault this place at all.

Stayed July 2020This is a lovely property with spectacular views and a house that's classy but rustic and bachy at the same time. Only five minutes walk to the water's edge and really pretty walks along the lake in both directions. The hot tub with lake view is sublime. House is toasty in winter. Although it sleeps six it's really only suitable for four as the living area is small and six a big squash. And while the kitchen is well stocked with pots and utensils, you need to take all food provisions as the house is limited to pretty much salt, pepper, sugar and few teabags. Also if you are using the linen hire you will need to take extra towels as you only get one per person. Highly recommended holiday house.

Stayed February 2020This is a really charming Kiwi bach, brought into the 21st century without losing all its character. Very well equipped with comfortable beds. The spa is a great addition and the setting is beautiful.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Waipapa Cottage Paul. We'll ask the holiday manager to pop some instructions for using the washing machine and dryer in the house. 1x towel is provided per person with paid linen, however guests are welcome to order additional linen or bring their own towels for their stay.
Kaylene
Stayed March 2019Waipapa Cottage is a beautifully presented, comfortable and cosy property to stay in with fabulous views of the lake.
Julie
Stayed February 2019A stunning property with lots of thoughtful extras, the view of the lake is magical and the cottage is well presented, thank you to the owners for sharing this treasure. The only disappointing part was the mattress in the queen room sagged in the middle which meant it was difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The late arrival of the neighbours friday night and the noise they made, made it difficult to get any sleep.
Bachcare replied
We agree Waipapa Cottage is a beautiful property Julie! Thanks for your feedback about the mattress, we'll pass this on to the owners.
