Lovely Stay

The unit was peaceful and private, and we felt very much at home. Jeremy was a kind and welcoming host and we felt very comfortable. The location was wonderful - just a short walk to the lakeside and cafe, and close enough to town you could walk. Highly tecommended

Taupo stay

We spent two nights at this property and from the onset the communication was very good. Jeremy was helpful providing information.The apartment had all amenities listed however it did not appear to have been professionally cleaned. A lot of the kitchen appliances and utensils were old as was the furniture.Having the use of two bicycles was a nice bonus. The location was close to the lake trails but you did need a car to get anywhere else.

Great Location

A modern, clean and comfortable apartment with absolutely all necessities. Great being so close to the lake and walking paths around it. Luckily for me Jeremy had a fold-up dog fence for my disobedient little dog, otherwise I’m sure I would have been leaving Taupo without her!!! I hope to stay there again next year.

Relaxed stay in Taupo

Loved the quiet and secluded courtyard with the view of the lake while also being sheltered from the wind. Safe for our little dog to have a wander as well. Location was great with a short drive into Taupo town. Bed was very clean and comfortable and we slept very well during our stay. We would happily stay agin!

Very welcoming host and great directions given. A few tweaks would make the place more comfortable as it is maybe time for an update of some of the appliances and streamline what furniture is required in the room so it would be a little more spacious. A tea towel would be a handy addition in the kitchen. Overall a lovely quiet clean and tidy place to stay. Much appreciated, thanks Jeremy.

lovely lazy stay

Just what we need for a 5 day break in Taupo. Very quiet, comfortable and a lovely part view of the lake. A short walk to the lake shore which connects to a walkway around some of the bays and if you turn right and walk for 30 minutes it takes you to mini golf, slightly further to the main Taupo shopping and restaurant hub Such a gorgeous walk. A short drive to De Bretts thermal pools. A great place for the 3 of us.

Great value tidy apartment

Great little place for dad or mum with the two kids. Very tidy and all the things you need. If you're going to Taupo with the kids (especially if it rains) I recommend the AC Baths, life saver on a rainy day with a 5 and 7yo in tow. Thanks for a great stay Jeremy. (Hot tip - leave your car out front as Jeremy says - it's not easy getting out.)
