Great location and house

Super cute little bach with everything we needed. It’s in a great spot and was clean and safe. The view and outdoor furniture was a great bonus, I’d definitely stay here again. A note for light sleepers: the house is very creaky but this didn’t really bother us.

Taupo

House was clean and neat; we had no trouble finding it. Location was a short drive from many good restaurants and a mini golf course. Spiral staircase would be no problem for the young but would be difficult for the less agile. Washer yes but no dryer [clothesline yes]. All in all a nice stay.

Comfortable stay in Taupo

Lovely house, so clean and tidy when we got there, it was great not to have to worry about linen and towels ! everything was there, lovely view of the lake - and we even had fireworks on last night there (boat club just down on the lake certainly makes a noise !) but was a great location, only 5 minutes drive from Taupo centre. Would definiately stay again !

Classic comfy Lockwood

Easy to get to, everything we needed with plenty of comfy seating and a cosy feel. When we arrived the sun was out and we had all the doors and windows open and it was lovely. We did have a disturbed night though as the wind got up and the house rattled and groaned. Be warned that the shower is pretty weak, but you can still wash ok. We would definitely go back, in fact, we are going back.

Great view over Lake Taupo

A couple of faults - no handrail on steps to enter property. Fine for most people but for others with mobility issues, made it a bit more difficult. Spiral staircase to upstairs bedroom meant having to leave luggage downstairs and reduced accessibility. Otherwise, property was well provisioned and very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the sun room. Would have been lovely on the front deck but for the cold wind the night we stayed. Also great to be able to do a load of washing.

Perfect location

This house was perfect for our stay and the location was excellent. We visited the two mile sailing club three times while we were there as it was such a short walk 😀 House was clean and tidy, and fitted our family comfortably. It was awesome having linens and towels provided as we were traveling with an infant and already had a lot of stuff! Communication was excellent with the property managers and we experienced no issues during our stay.
