We loved our stay here, clean and comfortable and stunning views across the lake. Everything you need for a great vacation stay. Would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you!
Had a wonderful stay, everything we needed with plenty of space for a large group (great having two bathrooms). Lovely view of the lake, nice to chill on the deck with a vino after our long drive. Would happily stay again.
Good place to stay with plenty of room for 2 families of four.The only gripe was that there no space in the kitchen to put any food as every cupboard is chocoblock full.
The house was nice and tidy. The view from dining room was awesome although the weather wasn’t great. Very close to drive to Taupo city. We enjoy staying at there.
Quiet location with lovely lake views, and 10 mins to central city, with local shops only 1-2 mins drive away, wonderful spot.
House is set up well with a large lounge and dining area and fantastic deck, so great for socialising.
The gas fire works great.
We had an awesome stay.
House is very well appointed with plenty of separate living areas for larger families. No wi-fi was actually a positive! This is an older property and maintenance reflects its age. Overall a great stay.
Looked a bit run down from outside but comfy, warm & spacious inside. Had everything we needed, thank you. I did leave a jacket behind on bedroom door, guess it's gone now!
Facilities and location was great. It was a well setup Bach for two families to stay. We were a bit concerned about the electrics when you can’t use many appliances at the same time. In the winter for a longer stay that might be an issue.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear about the electrics - we weren't aware of this issue so will have someone look into it. We look forward to hosting you again!
