    This was a gorgeous unit very well equiped in a beautiful area. There are actually 2 units next door to each other, if you're traveling with another couple and want your own space perfect. Easy excess to a lovely walking track, I love my walking, I walked back from Huka Falls one day and walked the other side back to the falls the next. Beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

    This was a great place to stay, handy location, close to town but far enough away that you had a peaceful location next to the river. I would definitely recommend Lance and Sandra as hosts, they were great, helpful, and friendly. A1!Handy to Huka Falls track and the Bungy.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great location. Away from the centre of town, so very quiet and relaxing but close enough to everything as well. The unit had everything we needed, plus extra touches that you don’t think about, but really appreciate (e.g. sunscreen, tissues). The view of the river sitting on the deck was so gorgeous and we sat out there at every opportunity. Sandra and Lance were very friendly and helpful hosts and we would happily return to this picturesque unit again.

    We stay a night or two, every 2-3 month in Taupo, and found this to be the best location so far. Friendly hosts, private and secluded yet close to everything we needed. We will surely be back. Cheers John & Estelle :-)

    Easy access into the accommodation. Great setup. Hosts live attached to the accommodation. Didnt see them or hear them and i hope likewise from us. River view magical. And you can do a walk along it from the back door.

    The accomodation was as described, comfortable lounge and bed, clean bathroom. Beautiful views from the accomodation and can walk down closer to the river from the property. Owners had the heat pump on for our arrival so nice and warm. Quiet and relaxing yet only minutes into town.
