Great House and Location
This place was perfect for us - had everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable. The hot tub and espresso machine were very nice additions. Very quiet and private. Definitely recommend for a couple or small family.

Acacia Bay getaway
Really enjoyed our stay at the Acacia Bay Cottage. Was really easy to access and was a sufficient distance from Taupō town to be really quiet and subdued, but still only about ten minutes away from everything. No views at all, but the site is absolutely delightful. Great bach, would certainly recommend. Thank you!

The garden cottage
What a lovely property. We stayed 4 nights and had a lovely time, even in the rain! The spa pool was lovely and perfect being under cover so able to be used in all weather. The only thing I would suggest that the cottage was lacking in was electric blankets. It was pretty cold at times. Some heating in the dining area and bathroom would also be a nice addition. Thanks for having us. What a beautiful spot!

Beautiful, relaxing
Beautifully presented apartment, plent of space, and in a nice, private environment. It's not a long drive to Taupo town, so we could do things during the day and retreat away from the crowds in the evening. Lovely to have a spa at the ready, too!
Enjoyed staying here, and would do so again.

Enjoyed the peaceful spot away from the crowds.
Very well equipped property with everything you need and more. Our only complaint was the water pump on the wall outside by the bed kept going off throughout the night and being light sleepers, it did wake us every night. Apart from this, we really enjoyed our stay.

The photos look great but didn't realise we were staying in a bunker eg. Surrounded by a bank with no view. The kitchen area needs a good scrubbing including the walls and floors and cobwebs and squashed bugs on roll down curtains. The spa pool is tired and headrests need replacing. When we come on holiday and pay close to $300 we dont expect to see notes stating you need empty rubbish do dishes etc. This should be included in the price.
