Perfect location, had everything we needed and such a cozy place to stay on a winter break. Kids loved the big bedroom and outdoor space.
Thanks so much for a wonderful stay
Such a gorgeous cottage, we loved staying here, loved the hot tub and the place was so clean and inviting. Would absolutely highly recommend the Marigold Cottage! Lovely, friendly host too
Lovely cosy cottage not far from the Taupō waterfront. Clean and comfortable. Great for families. A great option when looking to stay in Taupo for a few days.
Awesome cute cottage, very comfortable little home away from home. Lots of little extras to make our stay wonderful, the outdoor bath was a win for all the family. Will definitely stay again.
We stayed here on our trip to NZ for a few days. The house was perfectly equipped and clean. The back patio sitting area was a nice bonus to catch the sun for lunch.
Well equipped and beautiful cottage. Loved all the thoughtful touches and pops of yellow. Our favourite accommodation during our road trip of the North Island.
This property was an immaculate beautiful cottage set just up the hill from Taupo lake. We had a very nice walk to dinner and walk back. We would have very much enjoyed a lengthier stay here.
Two friends and I stayed at Marigold cottage for two nights and enjoyed the little home. We made good use of the great selection of books/magazines and board games available, and the duck food was a plus! Nice outdoor area as well.
Very clean and tidy property with lovely extra touches, right down to current magazines and a choice of bubble bath. Very safe for children. Jo was extra helpful in making our arrival a breeze. Would definitely stay again.
We had the best stay here at Marigold cottage. Great location. Supplied with all the amenities you could possibly need. Lovely little place you've got. We'll definitely be back.
We only stayed one night and so didn’t get to use all of the features offered, but our stay was enjoyable. The place is spacious and clean and check in was easy. It’s a short drive to downtown for restaurants and activities.
Our stay in Lake Taupo was wonderful. The Marigold Cottage was convenient for accessing the local attractions and town. Comfortable bed, bbq and spacious living room made for a fun trip. Also, the washer and dryer helped us keep up with our laundry load.
