Great place to stay in Taupo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the house has everything you need and is located just a short drive or 15/20 minute easy walk into town, and only a 2 minute walk down to the road to the lake. The house was very clean and exactly as advertised, it has lovely views out to the lake and beyond as well as a lovely outdoor area to relax or have a bbq.

Enjoyed our stay

House was perfect for our stay for the 70.3 world championships. Only issue was figuring out how to use the cooktop and stove since we didn’t realize a pan had to be on the burner to work. Otherwise the house was clean and comfortable.

Wonderful Stay in Every Way

We loved everything about our stay. This is a very nice, generous sized home with a sunny and private BBQ area, well equiped kitchen, and a spacious living area with a view towards the lake (which is a 5-10 minute walk away). Nice clean bathroom and fluffy towels, and the bedrooms capture the sun at various times of the day. I recommend this property and would definately stay here again

Gorgeous house in quiet residential neighborhood

The house was amazing - really top notch and convenient. It was a long-ish walk to the center of the town, but close to the lake and its beautiful walking path. Wish we had stayed there longer. Alas, we were just there one night and had to push on.
