Great location and views. Excellent for a family weekend away. Queen beds all a bit tired as were curtains (full moon shone through!) Woken with smoke detector beeping in night - needed new battery and couldn't remount fitting after buying new one. Surprised at lack of stair balustrade??

We appreciate your feedback regarding the beds and curtains. These items are now under review to ensure they meet the expected standard for future guests.

Very clean and enough beds for 6 males. Garage nice and big to store mountain bikes safely. Great help from property manager and other staff when we left key inside house and went out garage door and shut it. They came around in a timely manner and opened house. Will book again

John, we’re so pleased the home suited your group well and that the garage space made storing the mountain bikes easy and secure. It’s great to hear our team was able to assist promptly when you needed access, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay.

Finding Family

The property was perfect for us all to get to know one another. We came from Auckland and Palmerston North and met in the middle. It was a perfect weekend.Just a couple of things that needed attention The drain by the flat downstairs was blocked and therefore we were unable to use.The oven trays we soaked in the bath before scrubbing so we could use that night.All in all we had a fantastic time and will use again.

Hello Heather, thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent family stay. We’re pleased that the property helped bring your family together, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the blocked drain and the condition of the oven trays. After a personal inspection by our local management, we can confirm the drain by the flat downstairs is fully functional and the oven trays have been deeply soaked and cleaned. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve our service, and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back for another exceptional holiday.

Very Comfortable

Our stay here was awesome. We were in Taupo for a league competition and it was very cold there. The convieniece of having all the fire wood chopped was awesome and didnt take long to heat house. Communication was awesome and i highly reccomend this place for a group or big family.

Great location perfect for a large group

Great location perfect for a large group. Although very disappointed with sleep out on the ground floor. Furnishings very tattered, shower room substandard. Not what we expected
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
Thanks for your review, Sherolyne. We're sorry to hear we didn't meet expectations on the ground floor. I've passed your comments onto our awesome team and hope the convenient location made up for it. We'd love to accommodate your group again at any of our holiday homes around the country for your next trip away. Cheers, Phoebe

The set up of this house was perfect for our large group of 9 adults and 2 children.

The set up of this house was perfect for our large group of 9 adults and 2 children. The only small issue was the lack of WI-Fi as a couple of people in our group, needed to work during their stay. Otherwise everyone thought it was a great house.
