Loved our stay!

Great location, close enough to town while a bit off the beaten path. Very friendly, hospitable hosts. Beautiful, well-appointed, clean, newly built space in a lovely setting with incredible views and soothing birdsong. Highly recommend!

We were warmly welcomed by Lynne and Jim from the very first moment and felt completely at home. The accommodation is very spacious and beautifully furnished, with an absolutely stunning view over Lake Taupo. Waking up to this view was truly special.We especially appreciated Lynne’s thoughtful gesture of leaving breakfast items in the fridge for our first morning — such a kind and generous touch. Unfortunately, our stay was far too short, and we would love to return one day.Communication with Lynne was excellent, and her recommendations for excursions were fantastic.

Everything you need and more

Amazing place that I'd recommend! The bathroom and showers are a highlight (I rank a good bathroom high in search criteria). The beds are comfortable with incredible views to wake up to. Lots of amenities and thoughtful little touches e.g. good storage for clothes, basic ingredients in the kitchenette, extra tea towels in kitchen. And there's more! Lynne and her husband are great hosts, friendly with great communication and gave us a heads up anout restaurants being busy due to the iron man competition. Thanks for a great stay!

Das Haus liegt in einem abgeschlossenen Refugium mit mehreren Häusern, etwas außerhalb von Taupo. Perfekter geht es nicht. Wir wurden mit aller Herzlichkeit von Lynn und James begrüßt. Das Haus mit dem Blick auf den See - ein Traum. Innen alles sehr edel, hochwertig und liebevoll ausgestattet. Dazu gab es viele kleine Gastgeschenke von unseren Vermietern. Ein kleines Highlight, der tolle Whirlpool mit dem Blick auf den See. Wir haben tatsächlich nichts vermisst. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben.
