amazing location
Great batch with amazing view and location! Pool was really nice (deep which is good for adults) as well ! The only negative aspect would be the noise from the house which was a bit disrupting (wood cracking at night quite often with the temperature and movement of the house). Otherwise great house, would definitely recommend or stay there again !

Classic holiday home in stunning location
Classic kiwi holiday house, for relaxing and getting kids 'offline'. The house was warm and tidy, with extra blankets and heaters if needed. It had everything we needed, and was a lovely walk to town. The natural springs hot water bath was lovely and the star of it all was the stunning view. Very easy to sit back and watch the water.

Best Location!
This bach is very well-equipped with everything you need. It is situated right on the lake front, on a hot water beach. The rustic hot water spa in the back shed is fantastic. We found the owners very reasonable and easy to communicate with.

Fantastic hosts with an outstanding property. The views were amazing with the hot water beach so close. The property was clean and well maintained. What a great location and the pool. Yay!!! Close to town yet far enough away. What a great holiday. We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Hot water beach eerie & magical
House was very comfortable and tidy, views are spectacular and having hot water beach metres from the door is very special. Very eerie and magical in the dawn and dusk. If you don’t like strangers peering in at you all day then this is not the place for you as Taupo has an incredible paved walkway/cycle way which is between house and beach and people naturally are looking in at you lol. Plunge hot geothermal pool was heavenly we used this every evening. Highly recommended and so close to town and everything Taupo has to offer which is a lot. Thanks for sharing your special place with us

Great location, the house is in desperate need of a good clean. The bath mat was wet, hand towel unclean. Informed owner that had found doors unlocked and open. No reply. Thermal pool great, just very slimy.

A Cosy Treasure on Lake Taupo
What a wonderful little treasure this Bach is. A fantastic location in the heart of Taupo and with the lake right at your front door. We stayed in the depths of winter and were toasty warm and comfortable. The people before us had left the house a little grubby but with a quick vac and wipe over by us it didn't deter from our stay at all. A weekend enjoyed by our family and one we hope to repeat again and again. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your Taupo Bach. We loved it x
