Beautiful views in an out-of-the-way location. It was nice to have Turangi 18mins up the road and Tokaanu thermal pools even closer.
We did struggle a little with the appliances in the house. The microwave and wall oven both had independent wall switches (could pass for light switches) in addition to the wall socket they were plugged into. Setting the oven into manual mode so that we could use it was another struggle. I guess we could have checked these things before we went shopping, or asked the Bachcare people, but don't like to bother others over what should be a trivial activity.
Overall we enjoyed the space and were very comfortable thanks to the extra blankets and wood for the fire on one particularly windy rainy day. That's when we knew we had the right place to ride out the weather.
