Great house!

Great house, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very functional. The terrace was a great place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine looking at the amazing view.

Beautiful Taupo, beautiful HomeStay

We were blown away by how beautiful the town of Taupo is. Equally blown away by our stay at Motouapa. We were able to accommodate Mum, Dad and 5 adult kids. We had a great time and would love to come back. Thanks for having us. Sue

About the host

Hosted by Luke Gleeson

I'm married to Michelle and have 2 lovely girls. My wife and I travelled a lot before kids and still love to travel now. The opportunities to travel abroad are not the same as they use to be but we are very lucky to have the chance to explore our beautiful country Aotearoa (New Zealand). We've had lovely experiences using air bnb and now are lucky enough to be hosts ourselves. We pride ourselves in providing accommodation that we would be delighted to stay in.

Why they chose this property

Built in 2019, we chose this location as it had the best of both worlds, on lake Taupo for summer water sports and close to the mountain for winter skiing / snowboarding.
