I absolutely loved staying here. The accommodation is very comfortable and quiet. I had a lovely restful break. The hosts have been very thoughtful with little things like providing a few store cupboard kitchen items and a bit of laundry powder for the washing machine. Communication was warm and efficient and helpful. It was chilly weather while I stayed, but the heat-pumps made the unit lovely and warm. I felt very welcome. If / when I visit Taupo I would book to stay here again! Thank you!

The property has potential, but unfortunately cleanliness, maintenance, and basic amenities were a letdown.The tile floors were visibly dirty and appeared overdue for a proper deep clean. The bedding also raised concerns — the duvet did not feel clean, and the extra blankets stored in the bedroom closets had a strong, unpleasant smell.The second upstairs bedroom is not well suited for guests. It doesn’t have a proper window (only shutters), which made the room very cold at night. There is also no heater provided, and the electric blanket on one of the beds couldn’t reach a power outlet, making it unusable.We were also told in advance that the heaters would be turned on prior to our arrival, as we were checking in around 8:30 pm and the property manager was aware of this. However, when we arrived, the property was very cold and none of the heating units were on, which made the first night particularly uncomfortable.The balcony was quite dirty as well, so we chose not to use it during our stay.Additionally, the kitchen was poorly equipped — there wasn’t a single sharp knife available, making basic food preparation difficult.The property also has a generally run-down feel. There are visible signs of neglect, such as peeling wallpaper and ceiling fixtures that appear loose or hanging. Overall, it feels like there has been little to no interior maintenance done for many years (potentially decades).With proper cleaning, maintenance, and attention to these practical de
