Great location

This is a great place for families. Location is right on lake taupo and the views are beautiful! There is an easily accessible walking/running path that goes around the lake. Local people are friendly and happy to share information - just ask. Check in was easy and communication was good!

Beautiful location with amazing views

We loved our stay. The house was lovely and homely. And the location couldnt be beaten. The only downside was that we had a couple of cold nights and struggled to light the fire as there was no newspaper or kindling at the house, only big chunks of firewood. Other than that we would definitely be back.

Premium location

We thought this location was tops. Walkable distance along the lakeside to town. Close to boat ramp and to the sailing club restaurant & bar. House lovely and warm even for a wintery retreat. We definitely will be back to stay.

Convenient Taupo Stay

This is a very convenient and lovely place to stay. House is exactly as described and the location is lovely as it’s right on the lake. It’s on the main road so easy to get to, but the property is set well back so there is zero noise. Close to get to all areas of Taupo, and a new supermarket nearby. The sunsets were beautiful. Really enjoyed the place and would love to stay again if we are going back down there.

Magnificent position on the lake

Immaculate garden, stunning position and comfortable beds, this was a wonderful place to stay. The views are spectacular from living and dining room and the 2 upstairs bedroom. The downstairs double bedroom is tucked at the back of the house. Lovely private outdoor area with view and easy access onto the Lions Path. We enjoyed and needed to use the cosy fire box. A drawback was the lack of any heating in the bathrooms, and only one oil heater (in the downstairs bedroom). Early morning was cold until the fire downstairs was lit. The fire lighter in the living room needs replacing or refilling and kindling would be a nice alternative to using the firelighter bricks to start a fire. Overall a lovely stay.
