Great location, close in to town. House and amenities were just what we needed. A suggestion to get the cleaners to check utensils, plates etc as a lot of items were pretty dirty, presume from last occupants wash skills.

I am very sorry indeed that the crockery and utensils where not clean for your visit. That is surprising and disappointing. I've shown the cleaner your review and asked if she would be willing to check them. Thanks for drawing this to our attention.

I stayed at this property with my two sons and one of my grandsons. We came to Taupo to attend the Australian Supercar races. The property fitted our requirements brilliantly as it is close to the racing track, and is in a short walking distance to all the central Taupo facilities, including shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. We enjoyed being able to each have our own bedrooms, and two bathrooms are great if larger families are staying. The lounge is equipped with a heat pump, and a wood fire, and it was nice to find an ample supply of wood ready to be used on our first nights stay. The home was well presented, and had all the accessories one would find in a well equipped family home. The property is set in the center of a large section, on a relatively quiet side road, and enjoys plenty of natural light, and sunshine. I would have no hesitation in booking again in the future.John Taylor (Auckland)

Perfect, location and facilities. Neat and tidy. Would definitely use them again for a bigger group. The 1 bathroom was okay but one more would have been ideal. Can’t find anything else if I want to complain.

Thanks for your positive comments. There are actually two bathrooms at the property, as described and photographed in the listing. The second one with a toilet and shower, is behind the outside bedroom. If you come again you will know for next time.

Corena's place was a comfy homely space for my family and I to enjoy. Location was great. Kitchen was well equipped though we would've loved to have used the bbq facilities. Maybe replace the double mattress in the end room and batch in the near future but otherwise a beautiful spacious home with cosy family vibes. We would love to stay again in the future and would highly recommend this home to others. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.

The house was good. Convenient to town and near restaurants and shops. Listing said 2 bathrooms. It was but one was outside which they failed to mention. Also beds were extremely uncomfortable. Other than that it was fine and we would stay there again if they got new mattresses.

Thank you for your booking but I am so sorry to hear you found the mattresses uncomfortable. I will contact you privately to get more specific info, as I find the beds very comfortable when I stay there. The property description says "One shower and separate toilet inside house, and one shower and toilet in the outside bedroom/sleep out."
