Beautiful modern and spacious home

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay again. It had everything you would want and so clean, tidy and comfortable. Nice and quiet area and a short ride into town. Although taxi service is great. We rated our stay 10 out of 10.

Taupo Getaway

We overall had a great stay, and the property had a nice aspect on both sides. There was no available wood for the outside fire , but after calling the property manager we were able to get into the lock up shed to get wood. Lower lounge/ big bedroom had no heating that worked , but again they came and brought in other heating. Lovely spa pool entered the young adults too. Great for larger families -

The property was amazing. It was perfect for us. We bbq’ed, sat at the outside table and enjoyed the view and spa. It was perfect for a group of old friends meeting up again

We had a lovely stay at this property. Very spacious, clean and comfortable.

We had a great stay at this property. I guess the only negative would be that there was no children's utensils and plates etc when it was advertised that they had these items. And just a few other kitchen items missing like a bottle opener, more serving plates and oven trays for the oven would have been handy. A drying rack for towels and togs would have been handy too. Overall we had a lovely and comfortable stay here though and would definitely like to stay again. Thank you
