Amazing views great location

We stayed for 3 nights. Bach was warm and cosy and had everything we needed for a great family holiday. Great lakefront location with an easy walk to sailing club for breakfast and dinner. Supermarket close by and a short drive to Taupo town.

Good value but a little tired

We stayed at the house some 20 years ago. Seems much as we remembered it. Good location and spacious but now needs a bit of a face lift.

Magical place

Waking up to the lakeshore is an amazing experience, this took me back to our family Bach in Taupo in the nineties, was very cool! We all enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is a bit of maintenance is required. The hand shower was cable tied up which must have been previously broken and roof guttering rusting out . We were going to use the bbq but it was very dirty so we decided not to. But minor faults we really enjoyed our stay with our family

Fantastic Location

Location was great right on the Lakefront and Lake Walk with gorgeous views and lovely afternoon sun. Perfect for walks and bike rides. Two Mile Sailing Club with yummy food & drink options and dog-friendly with relaxed vibes is a nice short walk away too. Check-in was easy and good communication with host.

Perfect for stress relief

With a few stressful weeks of relocating my parents to a rest home this was the perfect break away. Far better than expected, the home is spacious, very well equipment and comfortable, including the beds. The location was perfect, especially being on the Lake. This will be at the top of my list for my next NZ break away.
