Home away from home
Jeremy was friendly and helpful since before my wife and I arrived at his home. We emailed back and forth several times before our flights and he was all too happy to answer our questions. When we arrived he welcomed us and showed us to where we were staying. The apartment is well looked after and private. It was exactly as described and always a welcomed resting place to return to at the end of the day. Like myself Jeremy loves meeting new people and learning about them. If you can spare the time in your journey Jeremy is an excellent conversationalist. I entourage you to take the opportunity the learn and share your stories with him, he is a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for the perfect stay while visiting Taupō this is it, your home away from home.

Great stay but..
Was a great owner but serious miscommunication on owners behalf as we didn’t get the use of a shed as arranged before even booking

Great place for some quiet time out near the Lake
Quiet Unit at the rear of the main property. The owner kindly sorted out the authentic coffee maker with a coffee grinder for us. We loved the proximity to the lake and tracks. Great bed and I would gladly stay there again! Gets great sun in the afternoon!
