Thanks for your lovely review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful location and found the home a good fit for your weekend away. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Great property with lots of space and well furnished. If you want to be in a quiet neighborhood, but close to the lake and Taupo central, this place is ideal.
This property delivered everything it said it would. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again. A very cute, clean and well appointed unit.
Thank you for letting us stay, we found the place clean and fully stocked with kitchen equipment and comfortable furniture. Family suitable, including a bath and washing machine. Also a handy location for a quick drive to Taupo outdoor highlights. Thank you, we will return in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Good but could so easily be so much better.
The convenience of a rented batch is often all about the little details. Details like being provided with a proper cooks knife rather than a carving knife, a bedding that fitted the bed size in the master bedroom. Also, being advised that two of the bedrooms were conjoined ie. couldn't get to one without walking through the other. Otherwise beds, showers & facilities were good. One pitfall discovered, the toilet door can be locked from the inside & if shut is unable to be unlocked again from the outside. Obviously not having access to the toilet renders the dwelling uninhabitable, however removing the toilet door handle face plate with a screw driver & dismantling the whole mechanism solved the problem but not something that should need to be done by a holiday maker. Otherwise a reasonable set-up in a good location.

Thank you for your feedback. We have now updated the listing to mention the conjoined bedroom. We took note of the tings mentioned and will look into this. We have a duty manager on call in case of emergencies that is able to assist with situations like doors that locked accidentally.
Great location for our needs, Clean, tidy and homely.

Great Location
Well located property, just a short drive into town. Well suited for our group participating in the round Taupo cycle challenge. Great to have a separate space for the teens. The bunk beds were way too soft and uncomfortable, and the fridge could have done with a better clean, but overall pretty happy with the facilities and location.
The property was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. We liked the location close to the lake.
The property has a nice backyard with barbecue, I think this is a very nice place to spend some time during summer.
The place might be a bit tricky to find but due to the clear directions provided by Harcourts we did not have any issues.
Great property, handy location to all amenities. check in process was easy. previous guests left quite a bit of rubbish and didn't clean dishes etc. otherwise no complaints. warm, dry and well presented.
Was perfect for our small group to catch up in. Central to both Auckland and Wanganui for our groups to travel from. Will be on the list to stay at again.
