    Instructions and access was excellent to this perfectly positions family bach get away in Taupo. The kitchen was well set up, which made cooking a breeze. Great little place to stay which was better value than any motel options due to the second room.

    Slightly retro house that you could only enter through the back door. Very comfortable bed. Good linen. Old fashioned furniture. Excellent gas fire. Quite neighborhood property very close to the lake

    Property overall in need of some TLC. Beds weren't comfortable and neither was the lounge furniture, which is very old and worn.Cleanliness and linen was top notch. Location excellent.

    Comfy stay. Heat pump and gas heater great. Walking distance to the lake. Our fur babies enjoyed the stay too. It would be better if the property was fenced, but we enjoyed our stay. Thankyou

    Perfect property for our family weekend in Taupo with plenty of space and very quiet. The bathroom sink drains needed clearing but I am sure this has been done and it didn't effect out stay.

    Surprisingly it was a very quiet area. Bonus of being able to take the dog with us. Enjoyed our stay, the only negative would be the couch which isn't very comfortable.

    Great little holiday home - all the basics are there that make the property work for a simple bach to base yourself while you are in Taupo. We always appreciate somewhere that is pet friendly and has usable and safe lock up garage for storage of bikes etc too.

    We had a lovely stay at the property. It was a quick walk to the water and an easy walk into town. It had everything we needed and it was great that it was dog friendly. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
