One of the most well presented properties we have stayed at with BookaBach! Situated in a beautiful quiet suburb, and only a short walk to the lake. Great communication with host, I highly recommend it, thank you for having us!
Property was as expected. Very cute place and close to everything in Black Mountain. Would visit again for sure.

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to hosting you again.
We were a group of friends visiting Taupo for an event, we really liked the area & how quiet it was when were at the property. It was perfectly set up for our group.
Nice comfortable quiet place to stay near Taupo within easy reach of the Town and the lake. In 2023, would benefit from internet connectivity especially if, like me, you have two bored teenagers and the weather isn't good like it was on our stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We will pass this on to the owners. Glad to hear you have enjoyed your stay.
Tucked away in a quiet corner - you don't want to leave
Perfect! Just footsteps down to the lake, ample parking, lovely neighbors and very responsive property management. The hosts even left a welcome gift of wine and chocolates for us :)Groceries, coffee shop and brew pub all within (extended) walking distance. The trail down at the lake takes you straight into town.
