And then told me that he had actually found it. I believe he was trying to make me uncomfortable. He didn't make an effort to make small talk, so it was weird. -At breakfast, harassed me, regarding details of my debit card as he stated that he didn't know how to access the payment from Expedia (interesting since he has lots of reviews of people who have obviously booked through Expedia)- inappropriate since we were trying to enjoy our breakfast, there's a time & place. -Complained to Expedia, Gary denied.

Looking forward to returning. ##### Tracey ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 31, 2014 #### Pricey for what you get This is more of a bed and breakfast. Not a lodge and it is in a private house with the owners living on the floor below the main floor. Helpful hosts but was surprised of the feel of this place because it is someones house. We felt that it lacked privacy. Nice views, dated interior, and about a 5-10 minute drive outside the main town of Taupo. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juanita, Sydney Jun 14, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Elegant Lodge with views of the Lake. In the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, this lodge, set in a beautiful garden, has a wonderful ambience with stunning views over the Lake Taupo. The accommodation is state of the art with underfloor heating, gas fire and modern facilities. The owners and staff went out of their way to look after our every need and advise us as to the sights to be visited in the area. The breakfast was one of the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. The choice was huge and outstanding using only the freshest and best ingredients. The muesli was homemade and an absolute standout ,the croissants imported from France, and the coffee was excellent. There was chopped fruit, yoghurt and about eight choices for a hot gourmet breakfast, not usually found in the best hotels. ##### Juanita ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter, Australia - VIC - Melbourne Apr 27, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Top of the line, State of the art; Service: Remarkable, Go the extra mile, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Spotless, Beautiful; Breakfasts were delightful ##### Peter ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah Nov 27, 2025 ##### Hannah Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Splash Lagoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Splash-Lagoon-Hotels.0-l6165961-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Hamilton-City-Center.h4478409.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Bronx](https://www.expedia.ca/Bronx-Hotels.d83335.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sheikh-Zayed-Road.h536502.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Revelstoke.h4140931.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming Residence & Guest House Dom Manuel I (Adults only)](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Manuel-I.h1065477.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Boston (BOS) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bos/yyz/boston-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxu/toronto-to-london) > > [Flights from Karachi (KHI) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/khi/lhr/karachi-to-london) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yeg/abbotsford-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bora Bora (BOB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bob/toronto-to-bora-bora) > > [Flights from Beirut (BEY) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bey/ist/beirut-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Panama City (ECP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/ecp/halifax-to-panama-city) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Reno (RNO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/rno/bellingham-to-reno) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Newark (EWR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ewr/toronto-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport) ### Cars > [Budget Car Rentals In Sherwood Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Sherwood-Park.d180151-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Quinte West](https://www.expedia.ca/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Quinte-West.d6352591-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Luxury Car Rentals in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Luxury-Car-Rentals-In-Cancun-Intl.d5133635-tLuxury.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Activities > [Things to do in Upstate New York](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Upstate-New-York.d6234083.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Roatan](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/3043/Roatan) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General
