What a beautiful home!My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was open, inviting and clean. My children loved playing outside and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the lake in the evenings. We'll be back when we are next in Taupo.

Fantastic place, would 100% recommend

Came here for my 30th birthday trip with my family. House was fantastic, best view and great modern toilets and bathrooms. Heat pumps worked a treat especially in the early mornings/nights (although we didn't use these much given the not so cold weather). Property manager was so helpful even with all my questions and the check in and out process were super easy.

Minor items needing attention

very enjoyable stay and a lovely property. One or two things which need to be looked at. Large cobwebs on to upper louvres of the lounge, venetian blinds need dusting (not good for those with hay fever), toilet paper a bit sparse as we virtually ran out of it. The gas bottle on the barbeque was very low and ran out. These are not criticism's but just minor things to bring to your attention. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay. Regards Alwyn & Elaine Jeffery
