Positive: Very warm greetings before and after we check in. Everything is so gorgeously set and arranged in the beautiful house. Perfect for 5 family members to stay in 3 seperate rooms. With air conditioning on during the cold winter, feel nice warm and comfortable. We had a very present 2 nights stay in this lovely place. Definitely will choose it next time. Joy Tsai from Taiwan

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Very comfortable Nicely furnished Spacious bedrooms Well equipped, everything you could think of was provided Felt like you were staying in someone’s home, not just a rental Peaceful location
Negative: Sat nav directed us to a different location and it was difficult to spot the property when you were travelling in one direction (coming out of Taupo) A 10minute drive out of Taupo, which was fine for us but if you want to be central and within walking distance of conveniences this will not be the place for you.
Summary: A very comfortable, peaceful stay in a lovely cottage

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely clean and cosy property with a wood burner we lit both nights with plenty of fuel although the property has modern heating but we just enjoyed having it. The setting is within mature grounds with wonderful trees. Plenty of parking and away from traffic yet within easy reach of Taupo and surroundings. The host was charming and we could not have wished for more. Thank you.
Negative: A hand rail up the internal step for my elderly in law? Some warm white lighting instead of cold white…
Summary: Quiet cosy and spotlessly clean. We loved it.

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This property is excellent value for money, for a group of five this was an perfectly sized property with all of the facilities we required. The beds were super comfy, and there was ample cooking /washing facilities. It was close enough to Taupo and other associated sites Huka/ Jet Boats but also out of the way enough to be very relaxing, and, on a clear night, we got lovely night sky views.
Negative: The only issue we had was that the toilet room had an odd odour, it wasn't dirty at all, potentially a septic tank smell. So could potentially do with some diffusers etc in that one room to mask.
