We had a lady smoking outside our room from early morning.
It was conveniently located and well supplied
The shower head was a bit awkward to keep in one place.
A nice kitchenette, great view of the lake and warm friendly owner/Operators.
Beautiful little property across from the Lake, open beam ceilings and a private thermal pool in the back.
Private hot tub. Layout. View.
Small gap in top of hot tub wall to next door.
It was clean. Free parking outside. Private hot pool which was fabulous. Great views of the lake and good location. Friendly and thoughtful staff. Great movie channel selection.
Maybe a little pricey?
Lovely location across the road from the lake. Friendly owners showed us to the room. Extremely clean and tidy 2 bedroom apartment with good amenities. Parking outside the unit.
It was across the road from the Lake, however our room did not have a view. Plenty space for our family of 6 for 1 night and a short stroll to eateries
Just a bit dated, recycling and rubbish bins were outside our room, along with the laundry ducting which had a strong gas smell, cleanliness could be better.
Location
Everything else, very dated, family spa is a joke, ice machine locked in a laundry room and had been switched off, overall very disappointed.
Well appointed, simple and beautiful individual cabins literally across the street from the lake. The owners are incredibly nice and friendly, and while town is about a 30 minute walk, it's a beautiful stroll to get there. It has parking, a dishwasher, spa pools, and a simple kitchen, what more could you need?
My only complaint was that the bed was not the most comfortable in the world. It seemed like the mattress was a bit older and sagged on each side.
Location, amenities and general comfort and cleanliness
Spa pool had sand in it
Great to have space, ac was turned on prior to arrival, views are incredible, staff very friendly and helpful
Perfect location. Across the road from the lake. Walking distance to town and lovely walk to sailing club.
The unit was the dearest as wanted a private hot pool. The unit is dated but even so very clean and everything we needed. Only complaint is hot pool area smelt stale and wasn't pleasant. They turned the heat off as well when in the evening when you'd want to use mostly.
Great location, lovely staff - and the unit was a good size for two families.
Unfortunately no air conditioning which made it pretty stifling in the summer heat.
Lovely hosts, fabulous location and well equipped, very comfortable accommodation
Location, friendliness of staff, room, personal hot tub.
It was all great!
Great location,clean and good size rooms, outside spa bath was great
Bed was too soft for my liking, woke up with a stiff back.
Smart TV, beds, cooking facilities
Shower slide broken
Perfect accommodations! Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and view of Lake Taupo was the icing on the cake!
