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.

Great Short Break
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.

Amazing stay!
The house is very comfortable, definitely we deserve the stay. A few cleaning things need attention, like the drains and behind the sofas.

Clean house and convenient location but many things not up to par inside e.g. power points that didn't work for the microwave and hairdryer, uncomfortable couch and lots of marks and damage. We appreciated being able to have our dog with us though.

Okay for a night
good communication with the property manager, great location, don’t except any more than that though. The house is old and needs to be renovated. Very little kitchen equipment, bare minimum. The washing machine looks new but the laundry room is old too and we found cockroaches on the floor. Good for one night if you’re passing by but I wouldn’t stay a week. The price was okay though compared than other properties in Taupo

Enjoyed Stay.
Great Location. Price of stay per night should be lowered. Chairs and Furniture very dated. Most frustrating was a shower door, which was damaged, and was hard to keep closed. The manager said shower door could not be replaced or repaired. Several lights were not working, obviously the house is not checked on a regular basis. I felt I was over charged for the lack of quality I and my wife experienced.

Great spot for a stopover in Taupo
The proximity to the lakefront and town is a great benefit to this property. The home is generally well presented, though some gardening wouldn't go astray. Thanks Kerry!
