Great holiday away
The house had everything we needed and worked well for an extended family holiday away. Lake was only a short walk down the road and we loved using the kayak. The supermarket was handy being just on the other side of the highway. Would definitely use this house again. Thanks for the stay.

Taupo weekend
Great property, weather packed it in for us but the property itself and being close to other amenities meant we still had a great time.

the property had a great layout which made for fabulous entertaining and family time
Excellent location, we walked daily to the lake. The neighbourhood was friendly. We felt safe. Some outside shade cover would have been a benefit as it was super hot, however we were able to enjoy aircon. This was a wonderful property. Thank you

Great Location, Full Linen and Kitchen Facilities
A really enjoyable place to stay. Lots of space for indoor and outdoor activities. Only a short walk to the lake with a track that is dog, runner, and cycle friendly. The lake front is nice and sandy. Full kitchen with all you could want for cooking. Full linens provided. Easy check in process. Ample off street car parking. Pool was a nice option from the lake when we wanted a quick dunk. Would

Lovely location, lovely house
Beautiful neighbourhood and spacious house made us feel like home. There were quite some cat fur about the house, might be an issue for people with sensitive noses. Other than that, it was a great place for a family stay. They allowed our puppy as well, and had a fully fenced garden.

Wharewaka delight
very nice property, had a great time everything was great ! lots of activities to keep us all occupied. Very short walk to a lovey sandy bay and our dog was allowed to come and enjoy it with us. Would recommend to others.

Great family house
Perfect place for a family. The kids loved the trampoline and plenty of beds for our 3 generation of family staying. Felt very home-ly and comfortable, walking trail to the lake and park. Highly recommend!
