Fantastic place. Such a nice setting and the birdsong and native birds were great.
Superbe logement, à deux pas du lac. Très bien équipé. Nous avons aussi pu utiliser le spa. Merveilleux.
The host Pip was there to meet us when we arrived and showed us the unit and amenities. She was just delightful. The beds were extremely comfortable and the unit beautifully warm for winter.
Hôtes extrêmement gentils et attentionnés. Emplacement et environnement de la maison. Appartement spacieux et agréable. Jacuzzi.
Cuisine un peu petite pour faire un repas sur place.
We were greeted so warmly and felt very welcome.The hosts live upstairs but you would barely know. They are very respectful of your privacy. Beautiful accommodation, perfectly clean and so warm and cosy. Beautiful views and really enjoyed the hot tub and garden. Walk out the little gate is easy and worth a wander. Beds were SUPER comfy!
Didn't like leaving. Would stay again
Pip & Kevin were fantastic. Property was beautiful with everything we neeeded for a one night getaway after a big day running around Lake Rotoiti.
Comfortable and clean with welcoming hosts. Close to walks.
Well presented. Good location. Independent access.
Poor layout. Nothing in description to say that to access the bathroom, kitchen and lounge,guests in main bedroom had to walk through second bedroom. Would not have booked had we known this. Access to apartment was through patio doors into main bedroom.
Loved the place, friendly Finn the dog Greeted us along with his owners. Great hosts and very comfortable accomodation

沒有不滿意的地方。
Localisation à deux pas du lac. Enorme gentillesse des hôtes (nous ont aidé à repqrer un pneu crevé). Studio bien tenu, très agréable. Jardin splendide.

We were greeted by a very friendly Pip and her lovely dog Finn as we arrived at The Bach! The accommodation is perfect, very spacious and comfortable. The location couldn't be better, with just a short walk to Lake Rotoiti and many hiking tracks all around the region. We would have loved to have stayed much longer! Highly recommend to all. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Nothing at all
Lovely people, lovely place. Great hot tub after superb walks close by.
You have to walk through a bedroom to a bedroom/ bathroom.
Great communication. Loved the place and location!
Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Pip is a great host.
A comfortable, well equipped and clean apartment in a lovely garden setting. Would recommend and would come again. The owners were friendly and welcoming.
Very clean , cosy and spacious enough for all of us. Lovely decor too. The use of the spa was wonderful.
No complaint
Excellent location to pick up family who had been tramping in area. Lovely and quiet. Everything we needed for an overnight stay with four adults. The host was very welcoming.
The location was close to the national park. The owners lived on the same property and were very accommodating and helpful. Loved the spa.

Everthing was great .
מארחים מקסימים. הדירה נקיה ומסודרת. האווירה במקום יוצאת דופן.
The place was perfect for a getaway, with everything you need including a kitchenette, comfortable lounge and dining area, and very comfortable bed. The apartment was large, with plenty of room to spread out. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and the home baked biscuits were a lovely touch. Definitely recommend The Bach.

Increíble, el mejor alojamiento en el que he estado en NZ, la persona que nos recibió super amable y servicial, una pena no haber estado más días.
Todo perfecto
The location is perfect. The hosts Pip and Kevin are great Their dog Finn is fun to have around The hottub was nice after a walk The garden was beautiful with a lot of birds in it It was a wonderfull stay in a beautiful area
What can I say, a 10/10 stay all round. Pip was there to great me the evening I came in, Finn (the host’s dog), was such a cute surprise too. The apartment was spacious and had everything you could possibly need, it was immaculately clean, it was so cozy, the bed super comfortable, and the hosts even included a heated blanket which kept me warm in the minus temperatures! Waking up for sunrise was so lovely in the morning, bird song could be heard from the bedroom. It was only a 8 minute walk maximum to the lake, and another five to local amenities. The property was super safe, I didn’t have a single worry as a solo traveller. The hosts also recommended me things to do locally including the hike up to Mount Robert which is well worth it.
Nothing! Would stay again in a heartbeat
The Hosts are very serious about hosting guests to their bach. the property was very clean, beautiful and very comfortable. The hosts are very friendly too. it was such a complete package. and it was the best accomodation that we had so far during our trip. Undoubtly is a SUPER HOUSE with SUPER HOST.
Nope. i like everything about the house.
good location. all we needed for our stay. friendly hosts
Very short visit but excellent for my needs, much bigger and betterl appointed than expected.
Very comfortable home, in a beautiful and quiet garden. Speedy WiFi.
The property was a lovely little 2 bedroom downstairs from the main house and owners who are lovely. The location is great and the view is also lovely. Kids got to use the spa which was a nice surprise!
Nothing we didn’t like, we didn’t realise we would not have the place to ourselves but pip and Kevin were lovely and the kids enjoyed giving their doggy a pat!
It was in a beautiful garden leading on to woodland. Fantastic birdsong. Very welcoming hosts.
Slightly unusual room arrangement, with single bed room not very private.
Very homey and clean.
Had a washing machine, but Didn’t have clothes dryer.
Nice place to stay
quiet and peaceful at night.... close enough to the only 2 places that serve food. This is a nice motel which delivered as described. Close to what matters and biker friendly. Bikes were safe to park in front. The place is in a natural wildlife environment, which is VERY pleasant. Could here the Tui all the time, this was awesome.
quiet and peaceful once we could not hear some wind chime (the most annoying noise there is on the planet...) Some may not like that hosts live upstairs, this was a non issue for us. Curtains could be darker as there was light coming through but this was minor
Comfy bed, quiet surroundings and woken up by birdsong
The cold night, as the power went off in the evening. Not the hosts fault & the power came back on before the morning.
High quality facilities. Lovely view of bush. Proximity to Nelson Lakes NP walking tracks.
The hosts were incredibly helpful and very easy to get along with. The apartment had everything I needed, for example, the shower was fantastic. The location was perfect as a place to stop en route from Picton to the South. The hike around the Mount Robert Circuit and the amazing food in the Alpine Lodge were also worth noting.
The only thing I felt a tiny bit unease with was the slight lack of privacy with the window blinds open so I spent most of the time with them closed.
Pip was very welcoming when we arrived and the apartment had very cosy and clean. The hot tub and friendly dog, Finn was a bonus as well.
Lovely views, comfortable accommodation away from main streets.
Very clean, great facilities and super friendly host. The location was perfect, lovely and quiet with an easy walk to the lake
Great place with a beautiful surroundings.
None.
The nicest of hosts - Pip is a really amazing lady. Thank you for the truly wonderful stay and your warm hospitality.
Friendly hosts!
Very luxurious and huge place to stay overnight. Everything that one need is there, even a nice outdoor spa bath to enjoy. Also the hostess were very friendly and gave good advice. The birds were humming a glorious melody too.
Nothing to complain about.
A great location and the apartment had everything you would want
Nothing
Place beautiful and tastefully furnished..beautiful linen and local art. Pottery etc. Lovely moss garden and trees to wander through. Plenty of heating and toasty warm..lovely venue..lake.. mountains and stunning bush. Go there !
Everything was good
-Location - we used this as a one night stopover between a couple of bigger stays to break up the journey and we’re glad we did. There is a nice walk down to the lake and along to the only restaurant in town. -Access and parking - the host met us on site as they live above. Parking was a large driveway with plenty of turning space. -Restaurants - the lodge in town is the only one, so I was a little worried it would be rubbish and overpriced. But it was lovely and reasonably priced. Winner. WiFi speed - 50 mbps down and 10 mbps up -Amenities / facilities - we didn’t use a lot as it was only a 1 nighter, but it seemed well equipped and big enough to stay for a decent while. -Noise levels - super quiet. -Temperature - a little chiller in the bedroom, as the heater was a couple of rooms away, however, we had a nice warm blankets and we were cosy enough. -Shower - consistent temperature pressure. It was the fourth or fifth time we had a bubble / roof over the shower (you’ll know what I mean when you see one), but it was the first place to actually explain the best way to use it! -Overall comments - Nice place, would definitely stay there again.
Everything. Such a warm welcome. Ticked all the boxes!
Really lovely hosts, beautiful garden, everything you want for an overnight stay, walking distance from the lake.

Beautiful location! The property was so amazingly peaceful, the wee walk out the back gate to the picnic table was perfect. I had tea here, listening to the birdsong, whilst waiting for my friend to arrive. Just a short walk to the lake and to the Alpine Lodge, and no sandflies! Loved it, and would definitely book again if I visited St Arnaud. Pip and Kevin were fabulous hosts and Finn was the wiggliest, happiest doggo.
The stylishly presented property. Everything was just beautiful. Pip was lovely and her home made biscuits were a treat. Wish we had stayed after our tramp also.
The was nothing we didn’t like.
Lovely place, very friendly owners. Really enjoyed our brief stay here.
Comfortable well located apartment for St Arnaud / Lake Rotoiti
Pip is a very friendly, hospitable and welcoming host, who really helped us settle in and enjoy our stay. The area is beautiful and the views from The Bach are fantastic! We wished we could have stayed longer.
