About this property
*No Service Fee!* Walk to the Lake & Town Centre
Summary:
Welcome to Trilby Cottage – where modern comfort meets unbeatable location!
Just one block from the lake in Taupo’s Hilltop, enjoy cafes, restaurants, and the Sunday market all within walking distance. Only 4 mins to the lake and 10 mins to town.
Named one of Taupo’s '10 Best Holiday Homes' in 2023 by Urban List – your perfect getaway awaits!
The Space:
This sunny, modern home offers the perfect retreat for up to four guests. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation, it’s an ideal base whether you're here for adventure, events, or a peaceful escape.
Downstairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms — one with a queen bed and a second room with two single beds — both serviced by a spacious bathroom featuring a shower and bathtub, perfect for unwinding after a day out. A separate toilet adds extra convenience.
Upstairs is the heart of the home, with a bright, open-plan living area and a fully equipped kitchen ready for your culinary creations. Soak up the sun on the small deck with your morning coffee or kick back inside with unlimited Wi-Fi and a Smart TV for your entertainment.
Each bedroom and the living area are fitted with individual heat pumps/air conditioning units, ensuring year-round comfort.
There’s free off-street parking, plus a secure single garage for added peace of mind.
If you're visiting for one of Taupō’s many exciting events, Trilby Cottage is the ideal location. The start and finish lines of major events like Ironman, the Taupō Marathon, and the Cycle Challenge are just 2 km away.
Whether you're here to explore, compete, or simply relax — your perfect Taupō stay begins at Trilby Cottage.
Guest Access:
Check-in instructions will be sent to your message thread three days before your check-in date.
The Neighborhood:
This house is in a perfect location; walking distance to the lake and the ‘Mole and Chicken’, ‘Social Club’ and ‘Jolly Goodfellows’ restaurants.
You can enjoy the lakeside walk to the town centre. It’s also a quick drive or walk to the nearest Foursquare Supermarket. On Sunday you’re merely blocks away from the weekly market.
If you are coming to one of Taupō’s sporting events, this house is in the perfect location as the racecourse of most big events (Ironman, Taupo Marathon, and Cycle Challenge) is only one block away so your supporters can easily take breaks while cheering you on. The Tongariro North Domain, where most races start and end, is only a quick drive away.
Other Things to Note:
Breakfast items are not provided but there is plenty of tea, coffee, and basic cooking necessities such as salt, pepper, and oil.
The house isn’t suitable for toddlers or children under 12, but happy to accommodate babies. A cot and highchair can be made available on request, but please enquire prior to booking (bedding for the cot is not provided).
For the sake of our neighbours, noise must be kept indoors and to a minimum after 10pm. There are strict no parties, smoking or pets rules in all Be My Guest properties.
If you are booking this property on a platform other than Airbnb, an authorisation hold is required. This hold will be captured as a ‘preauthorisation of funds’ from your payment card, prior to arrival and will be auto released 2 days from check-out, so long as no damage or costs have been incurred. The 'hold' for this property is $250.
All Be My Guest linen comes from our professional linen supplier. It is thermally disinfected at temperatures high enough to eliminate germs and risks such as Covid-19. In order to keep the linen costs for your stay economical, we do not provide face cloths.
Interaction with Guests:
We have an electric door lock and will provide the pin number three days before your check-in date.
If you need anything during your stay, please contact us through the app during regular business hours. If you have an emergency after hours, please call our after-hours number (number will be send with check-in instructions). Please ring, do not text as texts are not monitored.
