Taupo stay

Nice place and kids friendly. Good for family. Had some difficulty with hot water and checking in as doors hard to open which was not communicated.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 24 May, 2023
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The hot water is run by gas and can take a minute or so to get warm when you first use it. The guest called us about this and we explained to him to run the tap a little longer. He did this and it was fine. Guest never mentioned anything about a door being hard to open when he called, so we are unsure what this relates to?

AMAZING stay in Acacia Bay

Our family stayed in this AMAZING place for a week in January. Everything about this house was fantastic - it is new and modern , so clean, private, spacious, sunny and had everything we needed!! it is a perfect place for a family or group - and lots of nice indoor and outdoor areas to relax , enjoy and get some sun !! Its in a great location at the top of the stairs to the lake. We highly recommend this house and will definitely be coming back!

Immaculate Property with Peeks of the Lake

Sparklingly clean. Utensils, chattels and facilities were excellent and precisely what was needed, and often beyond. Decor tasteful. Outdoor living areas welcome. Serene and calm surrounds. The separate loft area above the garage was a welcome retreat for grand parents, desiring some solace and respite from their energetic grand children. Kitchen, dining and living areas were a great hub for our family gathering across 3 generations. Everyone got what they needed. We look forward to the outdoor fireplace being operational during future stays. We would love to stay again and couldn't recommend the property highly enough to others.
