We felt welcomed. The parking was easy. The apartment had everything we needed except for washer. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The location has very nice surroundings. It is however not in the town centre which for us was an advantage.

The houses are located just by the lake with a wonderful view, in a very calm and relaxing area. They are clean, and furnished as at home with all necessary equipment. The manager was super friendly and helpful with recommendations about attractions and places to eat nearby. We would definitely stay longer and come back again.

We had the perfect little lodge house right on the beach of lake Taupo. Great to see the sunset and be in a tranquil spot. The property was very clean and comfortable and had everything you could need. Bron the host was very welcoming and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for the night.

Very spacious and comfortable. Warm. Loved the outdoor deck and view of the lake. Great to watch sunsets each evening. Fantastic to have a fireplace and generous supply of firewood. Very easy communication and a lovely stay for our family get together. Nice lounge with comfy sofas, and enough seating for us all to lazily relax in. Well stocked kitchen. Great location and a quick drive into town and the hot pools. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you

We loved the pool and spa facilities. The room was a good size and had a tv with access to lots of channels. There was a nice seating arrangement out the back, which looked over the hills. Perfect place to stay if you're planning to explore the local area.
