My wife and I stayed here with friends in 2019 and were delighted to return with another couple in March of 2024. The view from the deck is just stunning, the beds comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the neighborhood quiet, and get this: two washers and two dryers, so no waiting! Polled the crew and no one could think of any negatives. As good as any vrbo we've ever rented, and we rent plenty.

The property is in a great location and very roomy however is dated. We were there for the Taupo bike race so were eating out mostly, you would need to bring all staples with you if wanting to eat in, however a nespresso machine with capsules was provided which was appreciated. But what got our goat the most was an additional charge afterwards for rubbish removal. Apparently this was buried in some T&C's somewhere but I couldn't find it in any online communications we got. No it was not a huge amount but after already paying a significant amount a night plus the compulsory cleaning fee and giving the house a good clean including putting all the rubbish in bins we felt it unnecessary and disingenuous. We left on a Sunday so obviously not rubbish day and clearly we didn't want to travel 4 hours with bags of rubbish or worse dump it on the side of the road. In future we'll be booking a hotel.
