Wai Marino

Great views, nice and quiet location. Driveway is VERY steep. Could have some better pantry staples eg oil, spreads for toast. Outdoor bath was awesome.

All good

This is a great property - very comfortable and well equipped with stunning views of the lake and Taupo. We made great use of the fireplace on a cold weekend but would also love to return in summer.

This home was perfectly situated by lake and only minutes from main town of Taupo. The views were amazing as seen in photos. The driveway is steep but could park on quiet street at its base. The outside hot tub was beautiful and surroundings were quiet and serene. A short 3 minute walk gets you to the lake for swim access. Cooked dinner most nights to eat in front of amazing views of Lake Taupo. Loved our stay. Cannot wait to stay here again.

Nice

This property is definitely special, with an amazing view! The kayaks were easy to use and the pizza oven works as good as it looks. The included binoculars made birds easy to spot. I would have given the property 5 stars except for a few issues which could be corrected to make this property truly amazing. The driveway was a definite issue but we were warned! The spa does take a while to warm so don't expect to use it on the first night (it is amazing once warmed!). 1) Main toilet is outdated and the plastic on it smells awful. 2) Included toiletries were minimal 3) Just enough wood included to use the pizza oven once 4) Paths and yard just needed a little trimming seemed a bit wild. None of these issues would keep us from visiting again the pros definitely outweighed the cons. But seriously please replace that toilet.

Lovely relaxing home in a quiet bay with fab views. Very comfy living space and well provisioned with outdoor area and other household utilities. Suggest that this wouldn’t be so suitable for elderly or disabled guests as there’s a lot of stairs (house is on 3 levels). We enjoyed our stay and would recommend Fir comfort, cleanliness and proximity to Taupo town and other activities.

Acacia Bay is a wonderful vacation property conveniently located a short walk from the park and kayak rentals and is only a few minutes drive from downtown Taupo. The home is well designed, high quality and very well equiped with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The views are fantastic, the outdoor amenities are nice and add to the experience. The driveway is steep and takes a bit to get used to, but it is worth it to have the views. Taupo is a wonderful place to visit with many great hikes and water activities.

Lovely stay and enjoyed the pizza oven and outdoor bath! Kayak use was a bonus. Great stay.

Everything we needed for an enjoyable getaway, very handy for swimming in the lake. Make sure you know how to back a car down the driveway though.
