Great house for multiple families

Overall, an excellent place to stay for multiple families. Great layout, very comfortable beds and a generous kitchen. Issues? Only a couple. Not perfectly clean. Used tissues in one of the bedrooms. And no remote for the downstairs TV was a disappointment. But I don't want to over emphasise the negatives, we had a great stay and would stay there again. Thank you very much

Lovely house in the quiet Acacia Bay

The property was a lovely house for a travelling group Out issue was the poor management of the property. We may have been the first tenants for sometime and the property needed a good clean. Taupo’s garbage rules are quite strict and requires special bags for garbage so why are they not supplied so you can use them rather than endless instructions and making visitors go and buy the bags, really?

Family birthday getaway

In a great location. The house is lovely & clean & tidy. There was plenty of space to accomodate our family without being cramped. Great to have 2 bathrooms. The rooms by the garage were a little colder but there was good heating & electric blankets.

Peaceful and relaxing

With 9 of us staying we had a lovely weekend. So close to the lake and every morning watching the gorgeous sunrises over the lake and the first sounds of the tuis calling in the morning. A super peaceful neighbourhood it couldn't have been quieter. Thanks so much for hosting us.

Great Location and Spacious home

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was a perfect size for us with 7 adults and 2 children. We also had plenty space to have other family come over and join us for meals. Was a beautiful location, with amazing views. Having such a special place made celebrating my Māmā’s 50th all the more memorable.

Long Weekend Getaway

Nice house in great location. Had everything we needed. Beds were all comfortable. Very cold downstairs with two of the bedrooms straight off the garage. Fire place was nice, had heaps of wood for us to use. Bathroom and toilet upstairs cold do with a good deep clean, walls etc dead bugs everywhere and in the lights too. Gas bottles weren’t completely filled for the BBQ so half way through cooking dinner it ran out and the other two spares were empty too, so had to trek back into Taupo to find somewhere to get gas. Also a mouse running around downstairs too. Saw a trap but nothing in it to catch the mouse.

Longtime friends catch-up.

We were a group of 9 longtime friends touching base for the weekend. The house was in a great location with a lovely view. The amenities were great & suited our group size perfectly and the fire was an added bonus. We had a great long weekend.

Fabulous location

The large house suited our needs well, though we had to watch our 21 month old grandson constantly due to high windows having no restrictors, the property info does say may not be suitable for toddlers, I would say caution needed for children under 7 at least. The upstairs of the house was very comfortable and well-equipped , with lovely sunny decks , one with fabulous views of the lake. Unfortunately the 2 downstairs bedrooms were not so great, they open directly into the garage which has a boat and a car in it and you could smell diesel in the rooms, the garage is also full of tools paint etc . The neighborhood was lovely and quiet , we enjoyed staying on this side of the lake for a change.

Family catch up

We were a family group of six adults and thoroughly enjoyed the property, although it is a 10 minute drive from the centre of Taupo it was well worth it for the stunning outlook. We sat on the deck and soaked up the view every opportunity we had. The kitchen is well provisioned and the BBQ was clean!! Would definitely rebook
