Beautiful Stay

Great stay here! Had everything we needed and the kids LOVED IT. We loved the balcony and enjoyed some fish and chips from local stores. Close to beach for a swim and also close to town. Check in was easy and fast and quiet neighbourhood. Downstairs was a little chilly but nothing a few blankets wont fix. We are definitely coming back. Thank you again.

Great Location with Good Views

Great location - close to the lake, Woolworths and 7-8 minutes from town. Also, great views to the lake and the mountain behind Taupo. Some aspects of the property are tired - lounge furniture, balcony furniture and beds. Appliances and cooking ware was good. It is a comfortable property.

Breakaway from busy Auckland

It's very nice house in a nice quiet location with beautiful views with the new countdown not to far from the house. The only down part for me was the beds were to soft for me and my girlfriend cause we are use to harder beds but other than that we loved our stay in this house

Fab family retreat

House was spacious and very well equipped for our family holiday. Plenty of warm blankets. Heatpump was wonderful and kept upstairs toasty warm. Downstairs did get chilly overnight but there were plenty of blankets available. Would recommend highly, and will be looking to come back again. A great place to base ourselves.

Great place and super tidy.

It was a nice place, we enjoyed the time over there, super clean and tidy. It was mid winter, the heat pump upstairs kept us warm but there is no heater in room downstairs, so it was super cold downstairs. It would be nice if there is some heater for the bedroom downstairs.

Daily fishing trip for family.Only 4 guests instead of 6 due to illness.

Family of Grandmother, Her brother and son and grandaughter. The 2 beds downstairs were not very comfortable for 1 / 80 year old her grandaughter . Really just for Children, Very quiet and fond memories for the Nurses cottages directly in front. Grandmother helped paint them origanally when built. Great Neighbours
