Lovely Stay in Taupo

This property was an immaculate beautiful cottage set just up the hill from Taupo lake. We had a very nice walk to dinner and walk back. We would have very much enjoyed a lengthier stay here.

A short but sweet stay

Marigold cottage was the perfect place to break our drive between Auckland and Wellington. We’ve all agreed Taupo deserves more time on another trip.

Lovely little Cottage

Two friends and I stayed at Marigold cottage for two nights and enjoyed the little home. We made good use of the great selection of books/magazines and board games available, and the duck food was a plus! Nice outdoor area as well.

Great time in Lake Taupo

Our stay in Lake Taupo was wonderful. The Marigold Cottage was convenient for accessing the local attractions and town. Comfortable bed, bbq and spacious living room made for a fun trip. Also, the washer and dryer helped us keep up with our laundry load.

Quick Visit

We only stayed one night and so didn’t get to use all of the features offered, but our stay was enjoyable. The place is spacious and clean and check in was easy. It’s a short drive to downtown for restaurants and activities.

Very nice property

Not too far from the city centre and very well set up. Unfortunately due to the weather and lack of time we made very little use of the opportunities.
