Taupo was lovely
The property is located a short drive from the town centre. The street can get busy at times and has ann occasional truck pass by. The kitchen is an average size and has all the cooking utensils and a pantry with a generous amount of basics. Detached laundry was great. Master bedroom is on the smaller size. Kids room with bunk beds is big.

Lovely Stay in Taupo
This property was an immaculate beautiful cottage set just up the hill from Taupo lake. We had a very nice walk to dinner and walk back. We would have very much enjoyed a lengthier stay here.

Excellent Taupo retreat
The house was super well equipped and tidy. It had everything we needed. The kitchen and BBQ had everything you'd need. Beds were comfy. There were toys and books for my kid who was stoked. And we took the bikes for a quick ride at sunset. Close to many amenities so location is also primo. Would definitely recommend. Hosts were communicable and kind.

Not too far from the city centre and very well set up. Unfortunately due to the weather and lack of time we made very little use of the opportunities.

Wonderful Cottage in great location
Excellently equipped cottage that had everything my wife and I needed (and more) as we based ourselves in Taupo for the Ironman 70.3. Jo was easy to communicate with and made sure our trip went smoothly. Lovely extra touches such as books to read and games to play, along with the well maintained bikes in the garage. Would highly recommend.

We stayed here on our trip to NZ for a few days. The house was perfectly equipped and clean. The back patio sitting area was a nice bonus to catch the sun for lunch.

Marigold Cottage was perfect
Very clean and inviting cottage, and easy comms. Perfect place to base ourselves for a long weekend. Very clean, lovely decor. Having the use of the garage for storage was great for a lockable place for the bikes. The outside bath and BBQ were both used. Bikes and kayak available not that we used them but awesome option to have. Loved our stay. Will be back.

Great time in Lake Taupo
Our stay in Lake Taupo was wonderful. The Marigold Cottage was convenient for accessing the local attractions and town. Comfortable bed, bbq and spacious living room made for a fun trip. Also, the washer and dryer helped us keep up with our laundry load.

Ideal cottage
This cottage had everything we needed for a short break on our trip. It was comfortable, easy to find and spotlessly clean. The outside bathtub was a treat! Next time we plan on a longer stay. Thank you for making this a seamless stay.

We only stayed one night and so didn’t get to use all of the features offered, but our stay was enjoyable. The place is spacious and clean and check in was easy. It’s a short drive to downtown for restaurants and activities.

Marigold cottage was the perfect place to break our drive between Auckland and Wellington. We’ve all agreed Taupo deserves more time on another trip.
