Our third stay here from the UK. Love the layout including the super hot tub. Also the location at the quieter end of town with a nice walk along the lakeside into the main area of bars, restaurants and shops.

Great location, clean room and great staff. Left a car parked for a few hours and when we returned to leave for home they came out and told me I’d left something in the room and gave it back to me. I’d happily stay again, thanks!

Room was in fact spotless. Don't recommend lounging on the pull out couch but soon gave up on telly n went back in the hot pool anyway 😅 Bed was mint. Loved it. Super lovely hostess. Totally staying here again.

Very clean room, with lake view. Comfortable hearing the heavy rain during the night. Very cozy. The only complaint was the noisy neighbors who came in late and talked very loudly for a while, then were up very early talking close to our door. That was people related, not the lodgings fault.

It was one of the best stays in NZ we had. The owners are lovely, even gave us homemade cookies at check-in. The private hot tub/pool is just amazing after a day out in cold winter days. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, comfy beds with heating blankets, everything is spotless clean. Just across the street is Lake Taupo with a great jogging track into the town center.
