Fabulous Spacious & Private
We loved our stay! Large private home, perfect for an extended family/group, with lots of different spaces for relaxing. Great outside entertainment area, good central heating, and everything you need to cater for a group. Fully fenced so perfect for the doggos. Good off street parking. Highly recommend. Would love to return again.

Great house and great for pets
Had a great stay and so handy to the lake and town, internet didn't really work which was a bit annoying. Great to be able to have dog there.

Great house for extended family. Plenty of room inside and outside.
Close to town and the lake front . The wood fire in the kitchen area is so efficient and there was a great supply of wood available for your use. Comfortable beds and the layout of the rooms were perfect for our family, The children had their own lounge area at one end of the house while the adults had the main lounge. Outside area is under some development and although the outside fire was not used by us it would be a special place to enjoy. Trampoline for the children and plenty of toys for them to enjoy. Very private home and although on a reasonable busy road the traffic noise was not a concern. We appreciated the house is still undergoing some renovations but it was a warm, comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. Thank you

Wonderful property!
Recently spent a long weekend with extended family (7 adults/2 kids) in Taupo, and am so grateful we picked this house. Wonderfully set up and close to all city centre attractions. Tessa (host) was also great with communications, and always answered any queries immediately. Thank you Tessa - your home is truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where family can be together while also having space to themselves :)

Post lockdown Family get together
This house was the perfect location for our family to come together from Auckland and Wellington. It was very cozy on a cold winter weekend. The large dining table was perfect for large family dinners. The garden and outdoor areas are also lovely, especially the sunny outdoor dining area. I would definitely recommend this to any large family group.
