A Hop, Skip & Jump to The Lake

Fantastic house, great space, beautiful beds, great kitchen set up.

Couches and lounge chairs were really uncomfortable.

Beautiful house that was nice and warm with a comfortable setting. Great location with everything just around the corner. Would absolutely stay again.

Bedroom heater didn't work. Some downstairs lights didn't work. We did find the house quite cold.

Location

A number of annoying issues. 1. Garage door not working electronically so car unable to put inside on a -6c day. 2. Light bulbs not working in main lounge area. 3. TV unable to connect to sound bar so after 1 hour of two people sorting this out we gave up and didn’t use it after that instruction book was very light on instructions. 4. Shower complimentary soap shampoo etc bottles awkward to open and lotions needed squeezing hard to work. They are too small pump action work much better!! 5. Obviously house was set up with underfloor heating but had been disconnected. Taupo has had several mornings below zero this year so we had to turn heating on an hour before we could use main room comfortably.

Very tidy and clean and had everything we needed

Very comfortable and spacious and a little bit quirky

Enjoyed it all

Great location, private outdoor area was really pleasant for BBQ. Espresso machine and good variety of pods. Really well equipped kitchen with plenty of wine glasses! Perfect for our small family gathering Great weather was a bonus Tui singing in trees

It would be very hot upstairs in peak summer

Great spaces in the house for a girls weekend- each had our own rooms and the lounge kitchen and dining spaces are fab! Great to have the outdoor seating in the sunshine as well. Great comfy beds and we really appreciated having fans in the rooms upstairs as the weather was far better than anticipated and it got toasty! The hosts are lovely and super accomodating and we had an awesome weekend!

Very clean and tidy, quiet location close to everything. Walking distance to lake and town. Secure parking. well appointed Good heating and cooling. Private

Nothing was a problem.

We liked everything. Spacious. Washing machine and outdoor clothesline and clothes airer. Large bathroom. Perfect house for 4 adults.

Really excellent location, self check-in, easy to find & park but also easy to walk down to the lake. Very spacious, comfortable bedrooms, one has a tub, lots of towels (not a given, turns out!). Would definitely stay again.

Great location. Close to restaurants and Taupo township. Impossible to fault the property and our experience.

Nothing we were more than happy.

Space

Was good having gas...but be nice if it was a real fire.

Nice big house about a 25min walk to town. We were there for an event and it suited our needs.

Some of the beds are a bit old and therefore very very soft and not comfortable for a couple.

Clean, spacious, comfortable and warm. It has everything we needed.

The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked.

It was all great.

Comfortable house with all the trimmings

Not that close to the Lake.

The lounge suite in living room very uncomfortable ;neck rests)

Everything was just right. 4 Adults 2 bedrooms and own bathrooms. Very clean.

Nothing

Good provision of extras such as bathroom items, condiments, books and games. Comfortable, spacious and great location.

A bit more seating in the living room would be good for a large group.

Most things

No aircon Upstairs would have been very hot if real summer was here Couch and seats only fit 5 So if bigger group have to use dining room chairs Insect screens on windows would help

Location, cleanliness, instructions booklet left by host, free bar of chocolate in fridge

Hoover that was compatible with the hoover attachment - pipe and attachment did not match which meant hoovering was back breaking using only a small pipe Invest in some new outdoor solar lights as current ones are no good and as such, outside terrace is pitch black

Everything

Nothing

Beautiful house, really well decorated and comfortable. Quiet location.

The location was great ( we were in Taupo for a Bowling Tournament) and not far from the Bowling Green. Lights were on in the house when we arrived - felt very welcoming. Everything was comfortable and very clean.

Nothing

Location was great. Easy to get in. Heaps of room for the family. Lots of helpful information by the hosts.

Taupo is cold in the middle of winter but it was great to have the heaters so we didn't get cold in the night.

Was perfect for our family of 4. Spacious and modern

Really great location. House was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Plenty of room for the kids. Great big table for playing boardgames when it rained.

Beautiful warm home. Was incredibly clean and tidy with clear instructions on how to enter the house and photos of how to leave the home when leaving Great communication and have recommended this place to several friends and family 😄 we would stay again in a heartbeat

One of the up stairs beds wasn't very comfortable as it was very "lived in"

Location was excellent, in a quiet street yet close to the centre of town. House was in good condition and had everything you would need when staying with family. I was impressed when I had to contact Lakeside Accommodation as Courtney was extremely professional and answered all my queries.

It was a very clean and comfortable place and all the facilities were provided in this place in terms of cleanliness and toilet and bathroom. Thanks for everything

Good central location. Spacious rooms, modern facilities.

Difficult to heat and to keep warm.

We really enjoy the stay in this lovely place in Taupō. Fit well with family of four, three bedrooms, got all the facilities and the location is close to the lake and centre Taupo. House is very clean and would like to stay again next time.

Loved how everything was close and so handy, the lake being minutes walk away sunshine, the cleanliness of the place and the beds soooo comfy

The house was lovely and warm the fire on arrival was such a beautiful touch, loved the 3 toilets each room was so accommodating for our whanau of 7 with comfy beds, with close approximatey to the lake and city centre. Loved how there was basically everything we needed on hand within the house, thank yous so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home and treat it just like we would if our own. No complaints at all about the house itself. 10/10

Okay the neighbours were a bit of a worry we had noise control come twice once on Saturday evening around 8 pm which we all knew that quiet time is 9 pm onwards the noise control employee basically laughed because we had absolutely no loud music on and said he saw no reason really why they were called was a waste of time but he still had to follow procedure of a complaint,then we had another visit from noise control Sunday morning at 11 am that noise control employee had been advised of very loud music being played and again the noise control employee said waste of time his stereo in his vehicle was louder then our little tiny speaker when he pulled up. Also we had a neighbour try to open one of our vehicle car doors and lucky it was locked this was so frustrating and really was disturbing after these three events happening that really put a damper on our stay with hop skip and jump away from the lake our family more or less felt like we were walking on egg shells for the remainder of our stay and was basically ready to leave for home because of these situations. As much as we loved being in your beautiful accommodation, and with all honesty we felt we held our upmost respect for the property and all surrounding neighbours we most likely would not book for this place again for near future stays next time in Taupo, for the fact that the neighbours was just too much, which is really actually sad. Also the noise control told my self if you're not aware that they get so much call outs for this property it's not even funny. 1/10 for the neighbours.

Upon arrival the gas fire was going and house was nice and warm. This was a nice touch. Exactly as in pictures. Would recommend and would stay again.

Nothing. Very happy with property.

Extremely clean and very spacious property with a cosy feel. Has everything you need. Great location.

Great location, Very comfortable and roomy house. Everything you needed provided and very clean

Portable BBQ was difficult to wheel as the shelves need more screws to make them secure so you can lift one end to wheel out of the garage.

Lovely clean place. Great off street parking & not too far from town or the lake.

Well stocked house with all that you need.

Not provided

Washing machine, but no dryer

Great location, nice amount of space, clean and quiet.

The mattresses probably need to be replaced, they are a little more than soft.

Very nice. Will return.

Not being able to pay for it using POLI or direct credit and having to pay excessive bank fees just to use my debit card. This needs to be changed..!

Just a short walk down to the lake for a swim. Great facilities and very clean.

Upstairs bedrooms got very hot…. But the Fans and skylight were appreciated.

Fairly good location with a bonus garage to use, has a bbq 2 bathrooms and a powder room. All usual house hold features including a smart tv.

No A/C meant uncomfortable nights sleep in summer even with a fan. There is a Karen who lives next door who I unfortunately met within the first couple of hours being there, bonus was the satisfaction of knowing the front door is a quality door…I found this out after closing the door on her…this was a positive on the property. Despite Karen we would happily recommend staying here. Just don’t block the door path even if you are unloading your car 🤦‍♂️

Quiet, tidy house. Bed’s comfortable.

Met our needs and reasonably good value

N/A

It was a nice home to stay in while away from home. Had everything you needed and more you didn't expect. Very pleased with the whole property. I did stuff up my dates and lucky I was able to stay another night with the family.

Everything is fine except the garage is inaccessible, the garden hose can’t be used to wash the car and the fridge need to push hard to close. The bedrooms are great, the heated towel racks and the living room heaters are excellent.

We think that the cooking pots and pans need to be replaced.

Great location. Clean and tidy. Would definitely book again.

Fantastic location and house, had everything you would need. Very relaxing and cozy will definitely book again. Thanks

The beds (mattress) were a little uncomfortable. Other than that, there are no other issues.

That there was no dryer.

Comfortable, cosy heater, spacious, 3 toilets and 2 bathroom, homely and nice location

A few things need to be fixed or replaced, bottom left burner on the stovetop doesn’t work properly, one non working light bulb above the dining table, two very well used / scratched fry pans can be upgraded…

It was really clean, very comfortable and had lots of books and games to keep our little ones busy. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. Location was excellent, very near to town and shops.

There were exposed light bulbs along the stairs which our little one burnt her finger as she went to explore. We didn’t realized it was an exposed hot bulb.

Quiet, warm, and comfortable. The internal access garage was great - a very tight squeeze for our large van, but so nice to not have to go out into the cold when unpacking/packing etc. Our first night there was minus 4 degrees, but the house had good heating so we were warm.

The kids' room was kind of a mezzanine over the lounge with shutters opening into the lounge area. The shutters didn't block noise so we had to be quiet once the kids were in bed. There were a few small maintenance things - the shower head wouldn't stay in position, the can opener was broken - which made me suspect the owners hadn't visited the property themselves for a while. It's a bit more than a hop, skip and a jump to the lake! The lake is down the end of the road; a couple of blocks away then across a busy road. It's about 5 minutes stroll.

Amazing spacious, accommodation with fantastic facilities making it home from home. Perfect for a family of five with enough space for everyone.

Nothing.

Good location near the lake.

The mattress was too soft for me. It's not convenient for parking because no light setting is around outside the garage,

The close proximity to town, the outdoor area and the layout of the home.

The fire was lit on arrival which was absolutely amazing.

Nothing, loved it

Plenty of space.

No Dryer in the laundry and the underfloor heating did not appear to work properly - the house was quite cold.

The house is cozy and spacious. It was lovely to come to a home with a fireplace lit up and warm home.

There was limited internet data allowance and internet was very unstable. I would expect this would be the basic for a Airbnb property, especially for the price I am paying. In addition, there was dead and live cockroach in the garage, which is disgusting. The hot water in the kitchen was cloudy and the bathroom shower door was ajar. Overall I feel the facility does not live up to the price I am paying.

It's a lovely home with extra touches. Board games, hot water bottles, and eco-friendly shampoos provided. Perfectly clean. There is plenty of kitchen equipment for our groups of 5. A huge bath in the ensuite.

Cosy warm house with fireplace good location Excellent for 2 couples

Hard single beds

Proximity to town and facilities was great. The property is well set up for a long stay. It was warm, beds comfortable and we appreciated the heating being on when we arrrived early evening.

It is a bit tired. needs some basic maintenance - lights, toilet seat. The road outside is noisy at night so some thick blockout blinds would dim it somewhat. The fibre connection in the bedroom is very bright at night so could be a problem for light sensitive guests to get a good sleep.

Loved the location, and the house had everything we needed as a family with teenagers. It was very clean and tidy.

Location and space

Starting to look tired in places, carpets and sofas

Nice comfortable home, perfect for our weekend away

It was a fully supplied home. Everything you would need was there, comfortable, clean, and a great location, too.

Maybe more lounge chairs. There were 6 of us and only enough seating for 5.

Spacious. Facilities were great. Beds comfortable.

I liked the space within and outside of the accommodation. All amenities were great. Quiet location .

None

it was in walking distance to the centre and lake. it had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.

Beds were excellent. Enjoyed the courtyard, the space, we were able to self cater and do some catch up washing.

it was pretty tired, flaking paint, a broken light etc.

Location close to city centre. Quiet, nice housing area.Private with the surrounding trees.

House creaks a lot. One toilet noisy. No opening window in 3rd bedroom, could be noisy if sleeping, with people in the lounge talking, with the open outlook although this could be shut but it would be airless.

Location was good. House was roomy for us four adults. Good sized bedrooms and bathrooms

No dryer, hard to get to clothesline which kept falling down. Not enough instructions on what to do with rubbish. House was very hot, no air conditioning. Pillows need replacing

Lovely place to stay, very clean and Comfortable

This was an awesome place that exceeded our expectations. We had 3 adults and two young kids. The rooms were massive, water pressure was perfect and the living areas opened onto an outdoor area where we had barbies. The lake is at the end of the street and so is a really good coffee cart. All prefect access for a morning run, swim, coffee.

The outdoor chairs (the arms)need a bit of love.

The spacious lounge was so inviting, plenty of bathrooms around the house, and a great layout kitchen.

You have to enter the driveway very slowly as its quite vicious
