Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Good Location Unfortunately only beds were made up for 6 even though 8 was booked in. Cobwebs everywhere and a lot of spiders. Front door would not lock. Main doors from living to outside locked and although we were told a locksmith would come and fix - never did. Oven broken so very hard to cook for 8. Let manager know but no communication from there. Great location and outside area but inside was a big let down. Last persons items left under beds so concerned about housekeeping. However the bedding sheets were clean. Duvet covers were stained. ##### Heath F.

Property had a great garden and views of the lake. House was very big considering it is only 3 bedroom, you could have loud chatter in the dining area and not hear a thing from the far bedrooms. Only negative was that the deck/BBQ was looking a bit tired, needed a bit of TLC. ##### Geoffrey H. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison P.

This is about the 5th time we have booked this property and as always very clean and well presented. Property manager Kim is very easy to deal with. We choose this property as it has peace and quiet, not too far from the action of Taupo and we are able to secure motorbikes in the garage. Love the place and hope to return time and again. ##### Ross W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Nick M.
