Summer and winter retreat

10/10 Excellent
"This place has a great feel to it... there's a bit of character on top of everything you need. Such a great location in this cute township by the lake with Taupo shops nearby. Our teenagers enjoyed the local tennis court and we loved the little local river walk. Would happily return. Friendly locals too! It was a cold time of year, but the fireplace was a charm. Could do with a heater in the lounge too for some instant heat on arrival, but other than that it's hard to fault. Grateful for the family memories it provided. :)"
"Had a very enjoyable night at Chalet Eiger and Nina was a wonderful hostess. The evening meal and breakfast along with the glasses of wine were delicious and it was nice to share some stories with her. A very accommodating hostess. "

Acacia Bay Lodge: Lakeview & Private Garden View Manor in Taupo
10/10 Excellent
"Traveling with my family of 7 and my parents, I needed a place that could sleep 9 people. My options were slim, however we found the perfect place with this rental. The house and gardens are beautiful, the view is spectacular out to the lake. The location is extremely private, you wouldn’t know you were in a neighborhood as it’s surrounded by native bush. I was nervous from other reviews that the hosts would be onsite, however we never heard nor saw anyone, I actually don’t know if they were there at all!Communication was excellent, check in and check out were easy. I would rent again, 5 stars. "
"We had a lovely stay here, the unit was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Our only problem was the single bunk beds which were very noisy and squeaky and the springs were too soft- one of our group got their hair caught in the springs.
Otherwise the unit was great. "
Whether viewing from a boat, bridge or the riverbank, this set of waterfalls is a spectacular sight as a huge body of water surges forward and downward.
