About the host
Hosted by Lynne
We are both New Zealanders and in the recent past owned and operated a B&B lodge near Taupo for 12 years. Now, in a new phase of life and at a new address, we are offering our self-catering apartment as accommodation. We live on site and are able to give you advice and make recommendations for things to see and do in the area. We love to travel and enjoy meeting fellow travelers. French is also spoken.
Why they chose this property
We love the views, the proximity to the lake and the peace and quiet of the area we now live in. The forest surroundings and the bird life are amazing. There is a sense of community here and a commitment to caring for the environment in our piece of paradise. This is perhaps the only community of its kind in New Zealand, where the land surrounding each constructible section is covenanted, the forest to remain intact.
What makes this property unique
The apartment enjoys fabulous, uninterrupted views of the lake and mountains with close proximity to the lake. It is totally private with its own entrance, with no other properties visible. The property is above the lake with walking access via a few different pathways. Please note that there are steps down to the apartment which is on the lower level of our house.
