"the fact that property owners shared the story of their mother with us about the house"

"Very nice location and great view"

"This property was amazing!! So clean and tidy. Perfect location to town and lake front. Best holiday, can’t wait to come back!!! 😃"

"Tha stay was lovely and easy checkin and checkout process. Very clean and there were plenty of space for 12 people."

"Lovely quiet place to stay! Everything we needed for a great relaxing holiday. Thank you for having us :)"

"Great stay."

"The apartment was a bit smaller than it looked in the photos, however it was very clean and within walking distance of the town centre which was great. Additionally, having an off road parking space was really useful. The downside was the noisy neighbours, particularly the upstairs neighbours who were loud throughout the night making it difficult to get a good nights sleep."

"Very nice and cosy place for a samll family !"

"Thanks for an easy property to stay while we spend the weekend boating"

"We had a great time in Taupo and found the property well located to get around Taupo's attractions. The property was clean, tidy and welcoming. A great place to relax. We enjoyed our stay."

"This place is perfect for a large group holidaying together"

"Had everything we needed for our three night stay and was handy to the lake for a quick dip! We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the great views of the lake. The location was quiet with the walkway along the lake good for our morning walk. Private snd plenty of room for our group of 12. Would highly recommend 👌"

"This apartment was smaller than expected but unbelievably well appointed with everything you could need or want. Excellent location and secure underground parking was a bonus. Would definitely recommend"

"Clean with everything you need and close to shops, supermarkets and entertainment."

"Communication on booking was so difficult I would not rent again through expedia/vrbo. Steps at property were totally unsafe and deck needed attention for safety. The house itself was comfortable "

"The position amazing. The house is an older home and great as a holiday Batch. The outside bedroom was stuffy and smelt as though it had been locked up for quite some time. The house and contents are showing wear. However we enjoyed the stay and the great position the home is in."

"Lovely accommodation for a family with spacious rooms and facilities."

"We were unsure if we had the entire property or not, as we read after booking that the flat underneath was occupied. We did not know if we were able to use the attached (empty) garage or not. The WiFi did not work at all (the Deco WiFi expanders were flashing red and not connected) there was no Sky TV, we eventually managed to find TVNZ+ on the TV and only two live TV channels. We did not know that there are multiple stairs/levels and stone floors which was difficult for an elderly guest....

"Visiting with family from Australia after some years away. Hukajet, Kinlock, plus plus… shame about the 2hrs trip from turangi Friday afternoon thanks to Downer roadworks without any radio or AA warnings. Was a lovely visit. Lovely cozy cottage."

"Everything was perfect…..large apartment….fully equipped….lovely friendly and helpful staff…..we will return"

"Very good location being no more than 10 minutes walk from Taupo town centre and the lakefront. Nice modern building and being on lakeside 2nd story we had great views of Lake Taupo and the Mountains. Very quiet rooms with virtually no noise from other rooms/guests or road. (Quest was fully booked and we heard virtually nothing from around our room) Facilities for cooking, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine and dryer all great. Only negatives....pillows were awful (we went & bought a couple...

"Excellent views over the lake and easy access to shops and restaurants "
