Family catch up
Came to Taupo for the Berm Buster motorcycle event over 2 days, this was an awesome place to stay, especially the location, and the fact it had a double garage to store the bikes in was a winner for sure. Highly recommend.

Taupo break.
Good location, nice comfortable house, bonus having a garage. The house is getting a little bit tired and there’s too much tat, so much that the cleaning is not getting done properly like kitchen shelves next to the range hood. We enjoyed our four day stay and would stay again.

Awesome little house, Very Central and very cosy, very quiet and nicely furnished, perfect place for a getaway. Since I have found this place I don't look any further when staying in Taupo. As the title says a lovely home when away from home.

Mere Road
Very handy location for us, we were at a square dancing event at Taupo Intermediate School on Kotare St, so just a short commute. The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of heating. We particulary appreciate having the use of the garage and remote for opening the garage door. We noticed that an earlier guest had commented about running out of hot water for the shower. We did have the same issue, but to be fair it was after two of our number had long showers. They are used to Infinity hot water heaters at home, and didn't give the hot water situation a second thought. Consiously taking shorter showers, and staggering the timing solved the issue. Many thanks for the use of this home.

Taupo 5 day stay
The property was v well located, close to town / lake / major roads. It was well equipped for our needs. One comment would be in the ' Clear File a list of instructions for how to operate 1) TV / Sky 2) microwave, 3 radio clock would have been v helpful. The property manager was easy to contact and quite amenable to us leaving an hour later than usual, due one of us being unwell. We will probably come back to this house sometime in the future, but when it is warmer e.g. Autumn or Spring

Conference Weekend.
Our conference was at the Great Lake Conference Centre so the location was perfect, just down the road, only five minutes. The property is a little dated, but true to the photos. However, it was very comfortable for a three day stay. Also, the communication with the property manager was brilliant. Easy and timely. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

This property was better than we had expected. It felt homely and inviting and secure it was warm and clean and tidy and in a central location. This house was everything we could have hoped for. We will certainly be booking this venue in the future. Thank you to the owners.

okay
The house layout is perfectly ok but the property is in need of some maintenance and better cleaning. The kitchen cupboards and appliances were greasy and grimy, the insinkerator had a terrible smell most of the time. The BBQ was useless and potentially unsafe as only one burner worked properly, the knobs were jammed permanently on for the other three giving zero control of the temp. Couple this with no electric frying pan and only small, worn out pans in the kitchen it made cooking challenging at times. Would rent the property again but only if it had been tidied up a bit first

Great location. Furniture looking very tired. Could be cleaned better.
The incinerator did not go as blades were jammed. The dishwasher had a thick layer of grime inside and the filter was filthy. I had to clean both so we could safely use dishwasher. In the master bedroom the hand basin sink hole had lots of long black trapped in the grill....yuck!! These things are very fixable. We would like to stay there again but only if maintenance and cleaning are improved.

Great home for a family stay. Very tidy with heaters in each room and kitchen is fantastic. Slightly dated interior and appliances but comfortable. Little bit of road noise during the night but we live rural so maybe we noticed it more. Will definately stay again.
