Thank you, Liz and Steve. ##### Dorothea Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Santoshkalyan Dec 9, 2024 #### Beware - Do not book this place Beware of booking this property. Not friendly people. A couple run this place and we were running late for check in due to our flight that landed in Auckland later and some of our activities needed to be delayed because of that. We called them in the afternoon asking if it’s okay to come in later due to our delayed flight and activities and the lady said that’s fine, you can come in later in the night. The guy who runs this place later texts us in the evening saying - we cannot honor your reservation, don’t come. This was such last minute for us that we had difficulty finding reservation elsewhere. I would definitely recommend you never to book this place as the people who manage it are not professional, do not honor their words ##### Santoshkalyan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Althea Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quick overnight stay Very pleasant surroundings, with great view. We brought our own “adult beverages”, but noticed it would have been nice if the prices of the wines optional to purchase had prices on them. Also we don’t do continental breakfast, my other half is a bacon and eggs man, so it would have been nice if that was an option at either a reduced rate or substitute a bottle of wine ;-) The cheese , crackers and fruit was nice as we usually bring our own, but had expected those after reading prior reviews. Had to call for directions as GPS said to turn left on a road that was just before the correct entrance. Liz was very helpful in steering us in the correct direction. Anything anyone may have wanted or forgotten was available, quite impressed by all the wee details. Even had milk in the fridge for my tea. If you do care for continental breakfast, it was between 07:30 -10:00. I routinely wake about 05:00 am, so hard not to make too much noise when other guests are sleeping. Enjoyable for a one night stay. Thanks, Steve and Liz ##### Althea Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location overlooking the lake.

Perfect recommendations for dinner, awesome breakfast and great snacks provided while we enjoyed an evening on the balcony. Room 3's bed is a bit firm, but otherwise perfect. ##### Carolyn Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn Mar 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was immaculate and the view was incredible.

Ernest Kemp steam boat trip across Lake Taupo to Māori carvings a valued trip. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our sty here. It was very informal and a very unique property. Very friendly, and breakfast was pleasant. complementary charcuterie board was a really nice touch. Great location overlooking the lake from an outside balcony. Lots to see, float planes taking off, parachute planes and free fallers at a distance, boat trips etc can be seen going along the lake. Not too far from town though absolutely need a vehicle. Highly recommended ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DOROTHY Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was a lovely stay friendly host, very clean, great location,.would highly recommend. ##### DOROTHY Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A really beautiful property, with lots of charm and stunning views from the rooms over Lake Taupo. Couldn't fault anything about this place, although the breakfast that a lot of people mention we weren't impressed by (basically toast, croissant and yoghurt; no eggs or anything cooked). Lovely place for a getaway and easy (10 mins drive) into Taupo. ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Hamilton-City-Center.h4478409.Hotel-Information) > > [Adam & Eve - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Belek-Hotels-Adam-Eve-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h1576597.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda - All Inclusive - Newly Renovated](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Esmeralda-All-Inclusive.h3814135.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Jasper National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6089395-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels.d8557.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Best-Western-Cocoa-Beach-Hotel-Suites.h18029.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Iceland](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Iceland.d79.Hotel-Destinations) > > [The Barrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-The-Barrington-Hotel.h27989.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Québec City (YQB) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqb/yxe/quebec-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/mco/hamilton-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ams/montreal-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Santa Ana (SNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sna/vancouver-to-orange-county) > > [Flights from Quepos (XQP) to San José (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/xqp/sjo/quepos-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/msp/winnipeg-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mahé Island (SEZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sez/toronto-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Sapporo (CTS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/cts/tokyo-to-sapporo) ### Activities > [Things to do in Texas](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Texas.d245.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Portugal Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal.d147.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponce-De-Leons-Fountain-Of-Youth-Archaeological-Park-Magnolia.d6069637.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Sweden Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Sweden.d173.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Centre-For-Arts-And-Creativity-Banff-Centre-District.d6072211.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Florida Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Florida.d211.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [Santorini Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Vacation-Rentals.d177970.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Eagle Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Eagle-Bay.dx6311652) > > [Visit St. Thomas](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Thomas.dx6140138) > > [Visit Tepoztlán](https://www.expedia.ca/Tepoztlan.dx6048997)
