Lovely homely stay. beautiful property. Only issue was no information about what to do with the rubbish so we brought it home in an already packed car. Hopefully this will be clearer for future people

Thank you for your review and feedback - we're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay!
Regarding the rubbish, each property has specific instructions about disposal, and this information should have been available on-site. We’ll look into this to ensure it’s clearer for future guests and avoid any similar confusion.
We ’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Lovely house - nothing wrong with the photos, but somehow, everything was even better in person! Convenient location, tons of space, and the wrap-around patio was the cherry on top. We were visiting from the States, and if we ever find ourselves heading back to Taupo (hopefully!), would absolutely return here!
Lovely stay catching up with family we haven't seen in a while. The rooms are nice and spread out so we could happily chat while the kids were asleep in the room.

Attractive 3 bedroomed home, good walking distance from other rentals we used locally. Problems unfort with no hot water turned on for guests arrival(at 6pm in winter) . And fridge had been disconnected, plug pulled out, not discovered into day 2. Medicines in fridge luckily in chilly bag and stayed cool.
Very nice property, well equipped kitchen and easy access to lake. Only issue was that one of the bedrooms no longer has bunk beds but has a double instead (this isn't shown in the photos).
Awesome place to stay , very close to lake and lots of space at the place for the whole family

A lovely house-very homely ,comfortable and warm with all amenities. Great location-close to the lake and a large section so plenty of room to park cars and boats.
Would definitely recommend

Teti St was a very suitable, well presented & a lovely house...
Teti St was a very suitable, well presented & a lovely house to stay at, with the wide verandas & varied sitting areas ideal for that end of day Happy Hour. The property was a stone throw from the lake where we went to see the sun setting on a few evenings.
