We had a fantastic relaxing stay, the bed was huge and comfortable, the rooms were huge and so clean. The outdoor private mini thermal baths really sealed the deal for us, the photos do not do the property or these baths justice, it is absolutely fabulous and we found it very romantic - but families or lone travellers would also love it. It was a very central location and we were able to conveniently park and charge our car outside our flat for free. The reception lady was so helpful, she helped us find a compatible car charger as ours didnt seem to fit their outdoor sockets, nothing was a problem for her and her upbeat pleasant attitude started our stay off on the right foot. I truely can't believe this place was as cheap as it was, it's an absolute steal! I would 100% go back and my fiance agrees with me completely. It was one of the highlights of our North New Zealand road trip in terms of lodging.

The owner was very kind and hospitable. The location of the cottage was excellent, Lake Taupo was right in front of us. I would definitely stay there again.

A 1 night stay to break up our journey from Wellington to Hamilton. Large 1 bedroom apartment which was very well organised and clean. Two large sofas made for a comfortable relaxing evening. The pool is small but the hot tub (no bubbles) was heated to 38 degrees. Both were enjoyable. The kitchen (no oven) had everything you needed to prepare a meal. The staff were friendly and provided a bottle of milk for a much needed cup of tea

A very nice flat right on the lake. There was also a 2-seater kayak. The steps are a bit of a hassle with a lot of luggage, but if you know that, you only take the essentials down with you. 😉

    Our family of 7 adults, 4 kids and 3 dogs enjoyed our weekend stay at this property. Great location in central Taupo with views of the lake. Spacious home for lots of guests - plenty of space for people to have their own privacy and to gather together communally. Loved the leisure facilities - dart board and table tennis table. Garage was generally a good space for children to play, especially in winter. Lots of good quality facilities - e.g. comfy beds, quality linen, heating, soaps. Ability for pets to stay a real winner.
