Handy location and good layout of home but not really suitable for young children

The home has some safety hazards for young children, particularly numerous multi-box electrical outlets throughout the house and steep concrete steps at both access doors.Carpets, lounge furniture and bedding not as clean as we would expect when we arrived. We vacuumed and believe the lounge area was cleaner when we left than when we arrived.

Amazing holiday home

We had such a lovely stay in Taupo and alot due to our accommodation being amazing. We were so warm through the cold Taupo nights also. Large spaces in the home meant we could all find areas to break away to for a chat. Will definately return again!!

An odd house in a great spot

It's clear that this property has been through several renovation processes and as such it has a somewhat unconventional layout. It suited us great though and is in a very handy spot for the boat ramp and for town!

Retro delight

Second time to stay at this delightful homely retro property. Highly recommended. Only small complaint is the very poor hot water pressure. Very difficult to get any hot water to the main bathroom shower and basin hot water tap is faulty. Otherwise no complaints at all. Garden is very well fenced which is great for pets, property is clean and very well equipped and lovely and warm in the winter with a large log burner and 2 heat pumps.

Frederick St Retro Bach

We recognise the retro house is a family taonga, with many happy memories. We don’t like grizzling. Some family were affected by the dust, and by dirt and mould around bedroom windows. In the master bedroom the mattress protector had a stain, although washed, was unappealing; there was a tear in the duvet. There was a planned two hour power outage on Saturday morning for Frederick and another street about which we were not informed. A shared bathroom doesn’t have a lock. The Bach is conveniently located.
