Week Stay to Participate in the Half Ironman

Family trip to New Zealand for one daughter to participate in the world championship half iron man race that was hosted in Taupō. We visited area beaches and attractions from the convenient Beach Tree Cottage location. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to enjoy home cooked meals when we wanted. We all enjoyed the sunny deck and wonderful garden. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Flawless home with everything you need and more.

We were so surprised walking into this home as to how spacious and updated it is. Out of all the places we stayed during our 2 week trip, moving every few days, this was by far the nicest and most comfortable home. In a lovely and peaceful neighborhood close to town, we were greeted with beautiful welcome gifts in the counter, there is a good sized, private back yard and the spacious, cozy living room was appreciated along with special additions like a Bluetooth stereo and oscillating stand up fans in each bedroom. Mattresses were comfortable and communication and responses from the owner were prompt. I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about this home. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful Property

Thank you so much Jacquie for opening her property up to myself and my family. I travelled to Taupo for business and pleasure and we need a large property for my family close to town. The interior of the property is lovely, modern, very clean and just what we needed. Communication with the host was seamless, proactive and inviting. The location was perfect, close to town, the gym, restaurants and local shops. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Taupo.

Lovely, well appointed home

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely, well appointed home. The house has been very nicely renovated, with high quality furnishings and fit out. It was warm and quiet, in a handy location. Our children were very excited by the books, games, toys and trampoline to entertain on a rainy day, and the men appreciated the big tv with sky sport. We would certainly stay again.
