Had one small issue with the pilot light on the gas fire but Property Manager was very prompt at attending and fixing the issue. Would recommend this property for a quiet break-away. ##### Ian K.

Hukajet, Kinlock, plus plus… shame about the 2hrs trip from turangi Friday afternoon thanks to Downer roadworks without any radio or AA warnings. Was a lovely visit. Lovely cozy cottage. ##### Jason I. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mirjam G. Aug 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy home away from home with beautiful views We stayed for 5 nights as a family in winter. The weather wasn't great, so it was really good to have a gas fire (which initially didn't work but the Bookabach representative got fixed the evening we arrived - thank you!), heat pump (downstairs) and radiator (in master bedroom). The house is in a residential area, up on a hill, about a 30 min. walk into town or a 5 min. drive. Easy access to the lakeshore and all important points of interest. The view from the beautiful deck is spectacular, especially on a sunny day, and we felt like being surrounded by native bush. There was space under the deck for the bikes, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, beds comfortable and lots of different seating areas to withdraw, relax and read. The house is beautifully decorated, and oh so many books and some good CD's! The only thing one should be aware of is that there is no door separating the upstairs area from the downstairs bedroom (with own bathroom and sep. toilet). It worked well for us though. The downstairs bedroom is of generous size and great for kids/teenagers who enjoy having their own space. We would definitely recommend this house and would love to stay there again. ##### Mirjam G.

House is amazing, gardens are lovely and location is really good, 5mins from everything! Would happily come back next time I'm in taupo! ##### Luke S.
