This house suited our family and friends well. We were in Taupo for a sporting event and it was lovely to come back and sit on the balcony and look at beautiful trees , as opposed to looking straight into another house. It was also nice having views of the lake. Clean and close to a group of shops and the boat club its in a great spot. The only negitive was the musty smell upstairs from the carpet being cleaned im guessing. The house just needed airing out. So all in all a lovely two story house to stay at. Having the 2 bathrooms with showers was a plus !& the kitchen had everything we needed Great communication with Stephen also and thanks to the cleaner Hope , for posting my shoes back!

Was easy access. Plenty off street parking. Room to accomodate our needs. Got to watch the all blacks. Not having to bring bedding and do a full house clean on departure just a quick whizz around was nice. Happy to pay for cleaner so next guests can just walk in like we did. Very user friendly. Thanks very much.

We stayed here for a soccer tournament and it was perfect as half of the team and parents could all stay in the same place. It made the kids enjoy it even more and really helped them bond as a team off the field. We'll be booking again next year.
Cheers

This property was ideal for us as a large group, everything was catered for, loads for the kids.

Great for multiple families to stay together
Kids had a blast here - used the rumpus room to play in and we had a quiet space upstairs to hear ourselves think. Think it would be even better in Summer as it is close to the Lake. Some really cool parks around for kids to play.

Great family escape
Great sized warm house for large family or friends gathering. All the amenities we needed.
Perfect location for families with the primary school next door. Kids bike track outside the lounge window, playing fields, basketball court and play ground.
Lovely quiet street but close enough to the town for a leisurely bike ride or walk.
Beautiful sunsets walks along the lake side.
Would rent again.
