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!!

Homely vacation home in Taupo

The house is very spacious and enough to accommodate a big family. It's full of amenities. 7 min drive from Taupo central. You can walk 5 min to the lake front. Almost felt at home far away from home.

Very homely

Great central location - loved having a short walk to the Sailing Club. Plenty of parking. Generous bedrooms with comfortable beds. Everything at our fingertips in the kitchen. Other than a dripping hot water faucet in one of the bathrooms it was perfect for our weekend stay. Great customer service too when an extra day was urgently needed.

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!

Super Frederick st Property

We had a busy long weekend in Taupo and it was a joy to come back to this charming property. Unfortunately no firewood was supplied so we didn't used the wood burner. There was a brief technical issue and it was resolved efficiently. Thank you for a great spot on the edge of town.
