We have an original small Lockwood , very much a family loved Bach .
There are 3 bedrooms in the house, 2 with queen sized beds and the 3rd smaller bedroom , has a Lakefront view and one single bed.
Sleeps 5 inside Bach and 2 in the bunkhouse .
Bunkhouse is for the Summer only . A queen sized bed . The bunkhouse is very basic and not suitable in the colder months as it is not insulated .
Bunk house has a shower and toilet, washing machine and dryer . And extra fridge .
Dining room table sits about 5 . There is a kitchen island with 3 bar stools . The Bach is not ideal for more than 5 adults but fine for children who are able to go to bunk house. Its a cosy Bach in Winter, with a woodburner and an efficient heat pump .
The bathroom has a bath with a shower over the bath which you have to step into bath to access . The toilet is in the bathroom.
We don't have a regular oven, but a small bench top oven and a convection microwave , electric elements / hob , a selection of eclectic frypans etc. We have quite a selection of pots and pans in general . the Gas bar -b-que is very efficient on the veranda outside the back door . the spare gas bottle is in the garage. Please, notify me, when you feel the gas is getting low or a cylinder needs replacing .
We bought this bach in 1986 , and except for upgrading the kitchen then, it is in its original state ...a real little gem of kiwiana we admit it is a little tired but new carpets and drapes etc are on the agenda . The view and character make it so unique ....
Bach and bunkhouse sleep 6 maximum comfortably .
Kinloch is a very special place. This is the perfect getaway. 20 mins from Taupo.
The hot water is usually on, but if not the switch is in bath room cupboard on arrival.
Please bring your own sheets , towels and pillow cases. Pillows and blankets all there. We have a lovely lady who cleans but not the capacity to wash and dry sheets in a timely manner too provide linen .
This is a family bach , owned by 2 families . We love for it to be enjoyed but please respect it.
