We were very pleased with the property. It was warm, clean and comfortable. It was also one of the best equipped kitchens we have seen ever. It had everything you needed, and even a couple of things you probably didn't need but were a nice surprise. Would definitely recommend, and would hope to stay here again ourselves.

I had asked for an early check in to which they quickly responded with of course they’d have it ready by 2pm but ended up having it ready by 10am . whenever I’m in Taupo I will stay here . I love it’s theme too it really gives you a cottage feeling .

    What a fabulous find! Lovely cottages, absolutely spotless, great pillows, a choice of air con or opening the windows of which there are plenty of, and a really overall nice feel about the place. Away from the main road so no noise. Howie was exceptional to deal with and I'll be back, the room rate was on my price point and comms re my late-ish arrival promptly replied to. Thanks to the team and especially Howie.

    The cabin we stayed was recently refurbished and so everything was brand new, neat and tidy. Great value for money for a night stay. You get all basic facilities and when you enter you find surprising to see how a little bit of everything is fitted in small cozy cabin. Note due to COVID delays, refurbishment of all cabin was delayed. That is what the the lovely old lady shared with us. She was nice and helpful. Don’t forget to ask free wifi password.
