Little Whio by the Lake

Our Little Whio Bach was build in 2022 and is a place where we unwind and reconnect with each other as a family. We want to share our experience in Motuoapa with others. Get away from the busy life and spend time together and in nature.

Little Whio has an open living area with a modern kitchen and dining space which makes this space a great way to be with family/friends. The Bach has a laundry area, two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Two rooms have a Queen size bed and internal wardrobe. One of the Queen bedrooms comes with an ensuite. The third bedroom has a bunk bed and a daybed. Great for the kids. The day bed has a trundler underneath.( For that extra friend that likes to tag along)
