Awesome views and neighbors

Beautiful vacation home! Love all the indoor AND especially the outdoor spaces. Family had plenty of room to spread out and not be all over each other. View of the lake was beautiful and the neighbor sheep kept us entertained! Really like the pull down plastic shades outside. They protect your first outdoor space. Will certainly book again if in area!!

Everything you need!

We had a great stay as a family (5-year-old and a 1-year-old), super quiet and so much space for everyone. The hosts were amazing and really helpful when needed. A+++ holiday home. Will be back for sure.

Vibing at Pukawa

A great place to escape from busy lives and recalibrate. Very clean and comfortable - close proximity to lake accesses and gorgeous views! We truly appreciated our surroundings with all the creature comforts you could ask for.

Relaxing stay

We had a very comfortable relaxing stay here. The Bach is in a lovely position with views of the lake. Perfect for relaxing on the terrace or soaking in the Dutch tub. The Bach is well equipped and has every you would want for a stay. Would highly recommend. There is limited internet use here but this is clear on the information when you book.
