We had a lovely time and this was our favourite property in New Zealand. Owners and staff were friendly, nice location that we found quite walkable. The communal pool and cabana area were lovely, we liked that they had games and books. We were very happy with this stay and would definitely recommend/stay again

The view of the lake from the property was superb. Pool was very comfortable and there were easily identified pool towels. We just found it a bit far to walk to restaurants, but room facilities made preparation of a meal easy. There was good communication from the property owners and it was easy to contact them if needed, which it wasn't.

Lake life, great life
We are so happy we choose Baycrest. The room was amazing, very spacious, loved the kitchen(we didn’t make the best use of but next time we will). The highlight is the mineral thermal tub, amazing! Location is great for the lake access and walking distance to the downtown area. Staying at Baycrest is like staying with family. Thank you
