We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. We love being able to offer pet-friendly options so the whole family can holiday together...hope to welcome you back again soon!
My family and I had a great stay. Plenty of space for everyone, child friendly, cosy when cold and had everything needed. Also close to all activites we were doing which was awesome!
Our two families stayed there and it was a great place. Plenty of room to comfortably accommodate the adults and still have room for the kids to play.
Great location.
I would definitely stay here again.
Second time we have stayed in this property While we love the space of the place to accommodate our large family, we thought this time the place was in need of a deep clean, ie down the back of the sofa etc. I am sure the house has been booked back to back throughout the holiday period so hopefully it was just due to this, however it was something we noticed this time.
Lovely property, well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay in Taupo.A short walk to 2 mile bay and the lake terrace, made this property a good location.Lots of room for the teens to spread out and space for everyone to get together too.
Lovely house with everything you need. Great lounge and big dining table for a family gathering. Everything you need in a "bach" and conveniently located to everything in Taupo.
Great having two living rooms to have one for adults and one for the kids, good location to the boat ramp and waterfront walks, not far from town either. Very clean and a great kiwi batch!

We agree this is a very good location! Thank you for your feedback.
Hi,
This is the second time we've stayed at your property. It really is ideal for a mixed family get together, with plenty of space for all ages, to be together, and apart at different times. Location is ideal and short walk to lake.
Thank you, we loved our time here, and have built some more family memories!
