Holiday Location

Location location location !!! Perfect place for family to get away from a busy Auckland lifestyle. Every room and space was greatly appreciated and admired. A few minor problems with power plugs, lights, but that didn’t stop our family from having a great time enjoying the kitchen where a family comes closer together around great food and laughs. Highly recommend this location.

Great location and lovely space

We had a girls weekend here and it was perfect for us! Enough table chairs, big lounge area, good sized kitchen and good outdoor space to enjoy the sun! Two bathrooms was ideal and sleeping arrangements with bed configurations worked well! We would definitely come again! Maybe just bring some extra wine glasses and wine glass selection was limited! But overall a great place

Taupo in Winter

The house was in a great location, with a good view with heaps of beds for everyone. The only issue was that in the middle of winter on a freezing night, the gas heater didnt provide sufficient heat for the large open plan lounge Either side of mid winter or summer it would be perfect

Taupo Wknd

Beautiful home, well appointed. Adequate heating. Beds in first bedroom on left as you enter were very creaky and the supplied pillows and linen were a bit lacking, the pillows were “hollow” feeling. Would definitely recommend the home. We are especially grateful to have had the security of the garage to store our motorcycles. Thanks to Marg’ for the communication to date.

Great location with lots of areas to relax.

Needs a few things fixed. Light bulbs in lounge need replacing, shower heads in main bedroom ensuite need tightening as does the kitchen tap. Kitchen needs more chopping boards as there is only 1. Ensuite door into toilet does not always work, otherwise great place to stay. Will come again as they are only minor matters to fix.

Girls Golf Trip

Easy to find our destination, impressive on first view. Property large, open with excellent views from living areas. Plenty of beds for all, we were a group of 8 and fitted in well. Suggestions for small but meaningful improvements would be to regularly check the status of light bulbs and power points. Of the 12 lights in the living area upstairs, only 3 worked making life a bit dark & dingy in the evenings. Some of the girls had problems with non functioning reading lights in their bedrooms as well as some of the power points, making it tricky finding enough to charge all phones, readers, watches etc. Also a distinct lack of comfy seating in living areas, couches catered for only 5 people so 3 had to squeeze in on dining chairs. Other than this, we enjoyed our stay and were happy with the house.
