Great location and place. Communication with the host was good. The place could really do with a deep clean as there was lots of dust and cobwebs everywhere. The cleaner also did not finish before we arrived and i had to clean the rest up before coming in. Other than that we we really enjoyed our stay. Was very nostalgic for me as my family owned this place for 15 years growing up and it was nice to come back and see that some things were thr same and the renovations were a great addition!

Quick trip from oz

Check in was so easy and straight forward, everything was accessible & clean. Our family had great sleeps in comfy beds with warm blankets included. It rained all weekend so the kids stayed in & hung out with each other playing board games And would quickly go to the park only 30mins away when there was a break in the weather. Comfy, warm & clean. Nice getaway weekend in Taupo Bay, can’t wait to go back again
