We loved the room. It was very comfortable, had several amenities, shower head was strong and very hot. The bed was very comfortable and we especially enjoyed having 2 chairs and a couch to relax on. It was also nice to have a t.v when reading became tiring. Mary and Ian were very gracious hosts. They welcomed us, let us check in late, and provided delicious breakfasts every morning. And, they were a fund of knowledge about the local scene and activities we could engage in. The location of the Loft is close to Taupo but just a little enough removed to be a peaceful and quiet retreat.

A five star rating. Have been to Taupo many times so we wanted to stay in Acacia Bay this time so it was great as the Bay Bar & Brasserie was only a 400 metre walk. Room, breakfast and hosts were fantastic.

We felt welcomed. The property is in a nice, quiet location. The room was very comfortable with en-suite bathroom. Tea and coffee provisions were on the landing area. Within walking distance of shop, garden centre and bar/brasserie. A few kilometres from Taupo so transport required (not sure about public transport). Mary and Ian are great hosts, we hIghly recommended staying at ‘The Loft’ and we would visit again!
