Sylvie - she is quite rude with her requests, lack of assistance as sky didn’t work, there is Repairs and maintenance required in the building, the backs of the curtains were mould stained, old leaves and dirt on outdoor furniture you wouldn’t sit on it as it would stain your clothes,for the price that you would think it would be exceptional it was average . She is messaging me today about a stain. A bit unusual.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 April 2025
I’ve hosted well over 100 guests across multiple platforms, and this was by far the most difficult experience I’ve had. From the outset, this guest was confrontational and dismissive. Despite clear rules, she tried to fit more people into the property than allowed, and when I called her out on it, she became aggressive and attempted to intimidate me.
She was condescending in her communication, especially when I provided helpful instructions. Yes, our Sky TV connection was temporarily down due to a nationwide satellite change (which I explained), and I offered a practical alternative.
The real issue came at check-out, when I discovered red stains that had soaked through multiple layers of bedding on my child’s bed. I reached out politely to understand what caused the stain so I could treat it properly. Instead of responding reasonably, she launched into an emotional tirade, spoke disrespectfully to my 13-year-old child, and abruptly hung up.
I genuinely try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in this case, my early instincts were correct. This guest was disrespectful, difficult, and ultimately not a good fit for our special holiday family home
To future hosts: please take care
We loved our stay. It was perfect for our multi-generational family. The house is incredibly well designed, the walking trails down to the lake are lovely and the kids loved the playroom.
We had an amazing stay in Acacia Bay. The house was stunning, well stocked, clean, well maintained and tastefully decorated. My 2 year old was thrilled with the play room and all the toys. And my 14 year old and 11 year old were in the lake swimming every chance they got. There was plenty of space for our whole family to be comfortable. Sylvia was always quick to respond to text messages and very easy to work with. She gave us great recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area. We are counting the days until we can return to Lake Taupo!

The property speaks for itself in it's quality, utmost privacy and location.
The property speaks for itself in it's quality, utmost privacy and location. Immaculate and clean, comfortable beds,
lovely linen, fantastic kitchen (stocked with all the glassware and cooking utensils needed), beautiful outdoor spaces and would have to be one of the best views on the lake. A 5* holiday home which we are looking forward to staying in again soon.

About the host
Hosted by SylvieK6
My name is Sylvie and my husband is Dan. I'm Belgian and Dan is a Kiwi. We have 3 kids aged 2/3 & 6. We love outdoor activities and having quality time with families and friends. We are very social and love to organise dinner parties (especially at our place in Taupo!), we have been living in Hong Kong for 10 years and love the excitement of this great city. However our favourite moments in our lives are based in Taupo, our sanctuary!
Why they chose this property
We built this house a few years back so we can escape Asia and have an amazing space to be reunited with our kiwi family & friends and also to show our kids what a great lifestyle New Zealand has to offer!
What makes this property unique
