Heathcote Cottage - Taupo Holiday Home

For some genuine charm and character, you can't look past Heathcote Cottage!

This holiday home has recently been renovated and refurbished so combines beautiful features of the original house with modern comforts that make this a wonderfully contemporary and relaxed space for your family or group to enjoy. In the warmer months, set yourselves up on the expansive lawn for a game of backyard cricket with the family. The covered patio is ideal for year-round meals outdoors. Everything you might need is on hand including all new appliances, air conditioning and heat pump, a Smart TV and you'll have access to WiFi in case the weather takes a turn.

Unwind on site and admire the peace and quiet or stroll to the lake a 5-minute walk from your front door, or make the most of being so close to the local cafes and restaurants within a 10-minute walk.

For a charming getaway to Taupo - Heathcote Cottage awaits!
As there is a section a of concrete at the front the property that is cracked, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of trips.

Great that the cottage has the option to take your pet. Unsure whether cleaning is an option somehow (it was automatically added to the booking when I used wotif). I’d recommend the owners not make self cleaning an option, or to check in/reassess the cleaner used. Whilst the property is superficially cleaned, it really needs a thorough clean between guests and “stuff” should be packed away neatly or put into storage (contents in the laundry, rooms, etc). For the nightly price paid, you could stay in a nice motel/hotel.
