Great location, close enough to town while a bit off the beaten path. Very friendly, hospitable hosts. Beautiful, well-appointed, clean, newly built space in a lovely setting with incredible views and soothing birdsong. Highly recommend!
Beautiful Appartment, Great View, Luxury Bathroom and Heating. Enjoyed great walks around the private residence and some awesome moments at the hotpools and waterfront dinners.

This apartment is amazing. Hot tub and stargazing with so little light pollution away from the city! This apartment is truly luxury, views to die for. You come here to disconnect. Taupō centre is only 15 mins away
Amazing place that I'd recommend! The bathroom and showers are a highlight (I rank a good bathroom high in search criteria). The beds are comfortable with incredible views to wake up to. Lots of amenities and thoughtful little touches e.g. good storage for clothes, basic ingredients in the kitchenette, extra tea towels in kitchen. And there's more! Lynne and her husband are great hosts, friendly with great communication and gave us a heads up anout restaurants being busy due to the iron man competition. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host
Hosted by Lynne
We are both New Zealanders and in the recent past owned and operated a B&B lodge near Taupo for 12 years. Now, in a new phase of life and at a new address, we are offering our self-catering apartment as accommodation. We live on site and are able to give you advice and make recommendations for things to see and do in the area. We love to travel and enjoy meeting fellow travelers. French is also spoken.
Why they chose this property
We love the views, the proximity to the lake and the peace and quiet of the area we now live in. The forest surroundings and the bird life are amazing. There is a sense of community here and a commitment to caring for the environment in our piece of paradise. This is perhaps the only community of its kind in New Zealand, where the land surrounding each constructible section is covenanted, the forest to remain intact.
What makes this property unique
The apartment enjoys fabulous, uninterrupted views of the lake and mountains with close proximity to the lake. It is totally private with its own entrance, with no other properties visible. The property is above the lake with walking access via a few different pathways.
