About this property

Trilby Cottage - Walk to the Lake or Town Centre!

Summary:
Welcome to Trilby Cottage, where modern comfort meets convenience!

Nestled in the sought-after Hilltop neighborhood, enjoy easy access to restaurants, cafes, and the serene lakefront. Just a 4-min stroll to the lake and a leisurely 10-min walk to the town center.

Situated only one block from the lakefront, explore the Sunday market before indulging in a brunch downtown.

This house was ranked among the '10 Best Holiday Homes in Taupo' 2023 by Urban List.

Your perfect getaway awaits!

The Space:
Welcome to your tranquil oasis in the heart of lively Taupō!

This sunny, modern home sleeps up to 4 guests, offering a serene retreat. Enjoy ultimate comfort with a heat pump in each bedroom and the living area.

Unwind in two bedrooms, featuring a queen and a king bed (could be converted to two singles if required). Step onto the small deck for sunlight-filled moments or relax indoors with unlimited Wi-Fi and a Smart TV.

The full kitchen is ready for culinary adventures. Park with ease in off-street parking or the secure single garage.

Guest Access:
Check-in instructions will be sent to your message thread three days before your check-in date.

The Neighborhood:
This house is in a perfect location; walking distance to the lake and the ‘Mole and Chicken’, ‘Social Club’ and ‘Jolly Goodfellows’ restaurants.

You can enjoy the lakeside walk to the town centre. It’s also a quick drive or walk to the nearest Foursquare Supermarket. On Sunday you’re merely blocks away from the weekly market.

If you are coming to one of Taupō’s sporting events, this house is in the perfect location as the racecourse of most big events (Ironman, Taupo Marathon, and Cycle Challenge) is only one block away so your supporters can easily take breaks while cheering you on. The Tongariro North Domain, where most races start and end, is only a quick drive away.

Getting Around:
Check-in instructions will be sent to your message thread three days before your check-in date.

Other Things to Note:
Breakfast items are not provided but there is plenty of tea, coffee, and basic cooking necessities such as salt, pepper, and oil.

When booking, please advise how many beds you require, and we will prepare that quantity for you. A highchair and baby cot may be available. Please enquire (bedding for the cot is not provided).

The house isn’t suitable for toddlers or children under 12, but happy to accommodate babies. A cot and highchair can be made available upon request, but please enquire prior to booking (bedding for the cot is not provided).

For the sake of our neighbours, noise must be kept indoors and to a minimum after 10pm. There are strict no parties, smoking or pets rules in all Be My Guest properties.

This hold will be captured as a ‘preauthorisation of funds’ from your payment card, prior to arrival and will be auto released 2 days from check-out, so long as no damage or costs have been incurred. The 'hold' for this property is $250.

All Be My Guest linen comes from our professional linen supplier. It is thermally disinfected at temperatures high enough to eliminate germs and risks such as Covid-19. In order to keep the linen costs for your stay economical, we do not provide face cloths.

We have an electric door lock and will provide the pin number three days before your check-in date.
