We enjoyed our stay and it was our fault for not realizing how far out of Taupo it was.

The breakfast was nice

Just for owners interest to be 5 star the butter could be in a dish and the jams home preserves.

Cherry on top

It was the highlight of our trip and continues to be! Something a fancy hotel can’t provide - coziness and warmth from a family home with 3 awesome and loveable dogs! Super clean and tidy, had everything we needed! Beautiful view throughout the day!

Beautiful B&B with incredible view and the best hosts

Above all, it was our hosts that made our stay at Hilltop Whakaipo an unforgettable experience. They made us feel at home. The self-made breakfast and the incredible view are for sure some of the highlights.

The Hilltop Whakaipo Estate is a short drive outside of Taupo. But with a bit of planning, this is no issue and the view as well as the great hospitality are more than worth it.

Beautiful views, wonderful hosts, centrally located

Wow! The views from this property are just beautiful! We got lucky to have a couple of very clear days and from the hilltop property you could see the mountains and lake in the distance. Our hosts were super nice and accommodating and cooked us a great breakfast each day. One of the days they even got up early to make us breakfast at 6:30am before we left for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. It's a great central location very close to Taupo but also not far from Rotorua, Turangi, and the Tongariro National Park. A nice touch is that the shower enclosure contains the steam so the bathroom mirror doesn't get all foggy. And there's a heated rack for the towels so they dry quickly. The small touches do make a difference. Another great thing about the property is the owner's 3 friendly Labrador Retrievers. One of them loved playing fetch and I think she could do it all day long. We also got to feed their sheep and deer in the morning, not something you get to do every day!

That we weren't able to stay longer! Everything was so great!

Stunning!!

The venue is absolutely stunning with the most incredible view out over Lake Taupo. Peter and Michelle were the most wonderful hosts and went out of their way to make sure our every need was taken care of - from an extra early breakfast at 5.30am before we headed down to Tongariro to tackle the Alpine Crossing, through to providing us with extra swim towels when we went to the hot pools and also doing a load of our laundry. The breakfast was incredible, including fresh homemade bread. We also got taken round the farm to meet and feed the deer, which was amazing - and had lots of cuddles with their wonderful Labradors. Cannot fault our stay and would highly recommend!

Perfect escape

Everything it has to offer from the room to the views and the added bonus of meeting and feeding their friendly deer.Their dogs where so friendly as well especially the puppy.

Nothing really except for the separate lounge you had to share with other guests and the home owner not that we spent time at the bnb.

Just the best stay we had in NZ!

Hosts are just so nice. Breakfast was great. Host took us to feed the deers and cows which made our daughter so impressed! The facility is just amazing, big land, nice views, great rooms. We also enjoyed the pool and darts. It was the best stay of our 1 month trip in NZ!

Nothing, was perfect. I recommend to keep this level of quality.

Superb

Breakfast was cooked to your liking and choice. A large variety was offered to be cooked or continental breakfast—friendly welcome and lovely dogs at the house. Get to feed apples to the deer at the property; excellent experience. Gorgeous view from the house when eating breakfast.

That the towels were not replaced or the bed made. Would of been nice to return from a business day and the room straightened.
