Absolutely loved staying here, about 10 minutes from the town centre of Taupo, it was a quiet rural haven from the hustle and bustle of tourist central. Beautifully decorated, with dark skys and a wood fired barbeque our stay was very enjoyable. We we both sad to go.

The cottage was beautifully appointed and set on the most tranquil farm. We so enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the paddocks. Our dog was also treated like a princess and the garden was fully fenced.
Lucy had her own special bed and dogs bowls.

Relaxing Woolshed cottage

Great place to stay in the countryside. The Woolshed has been beautifully updated, with divine bed linens and a great shower. Outside is a sunny deck, large shady trees to relax under and a fenced yard for dogs to play.
