Almost Country

A most excellent place to stay. Great location. Very clean and tidy plus a breakfast was provided 👍

.

Es hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir haben dort Wäsche gewaschen. Es hat alles wunderbar gepasst. Frühstück war sehr gut mit viel Auswahl. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Todo muy limpio y ordenado. Perfectamente preparado para las noches frías. Fueron muy amables en dejar algo de comida para desayunar, repetiría sin duda.

La única “pega” sería el electrodoméstico horno-cocinilla que tiene dos placas de metal donde cocinar. Quería preparar algo de carne para almorzar pero tardaba mucho en calentar y terminé usando mi propio camping gas. Por lo demás, todo muy bien 😊

Very clean with everything you needed.

The unit is clean, tidy and well appointed. The carport was an absolute bonus for rainy days. Easy to find and a great location as a base for travel around the area. I would stay here again.

We felt quite comfortable during our stay. The accommodation is very well maintained, and it was great to have our own carport. A double bed would have suited us better, but we simply pushed the two beds together and, of course, left everything exactly as we found it. The property is located on the outskirts of town, which fits its name. A well‑used road runs nearby, but most travellers will be up early anyway, so it’s not really disturbing. Many thanks to the friendly hosts — they respond immediately whenever you have a question.

The space was perfect. It was clean and spacious and comfortable with a large bedroom, nice bathroom, kitchen and patio. They also had laundry which was convenient. The owners are on sight and very nice and helpful.

As the name suggests it is a little far from the center of town, about a 25 to 30 minute walk to get to restaurants and other services.

Ruhige Lage am Stadtrand, kleines Frühstück im Kühlschrank, Carport direkt vor der Tür

Kaum Ablagemöglichkeiten, weder im Bad noch im Schlafzimmer. Die Kommode im Schlafzimmer gibt es nicht mehr (Bild), der begehbare Kleiderschrank ist voll mit Sachen des Vermieters, der Schrank im Bad steht voller Putzmittel. Wir sind zwei Monate im Land unterwegs und reisen daher mit relativ viel Gepäck, hier mussten wir improvisieren. Die Betten sind sehr komfortabel, die restlichen Möbel teilweise schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Very comfortable accommodation. Peaceful, yet close to Taupo township. Loved the lounge and kitchen.

Nothing - it was great.

Situation au calme et à proximité de la ville. Maison spacieuse, confortable et fonctionnelle. J'ai apprécié pouvoir utiliser la buanderie des propriétaires.

Such a great place, everything is nice!

Owners live in connecting build. We arrived early and they not only accommodated that, but dropped us off at our concert, which otherwise would have been a 25 min walk and picked us up otherwards. We forgot our concert blanket so their son brought us a blanket down. Nothing was to much trouble. Treated us like we were close friends. The unit was beautifully furnitured , clean and welcoming. Then there were the goodies for breakfast, bread, jam, cereals, yoghurts,juice, assortment of teas and coffees. Very pleasant surprise.

You can't improve on perfection. Didn't like we only had one night there, would have liked longer.

There was some bread and condiments in the fridge so I was able to have a snack on arrival which was very welcome 👍

Road was a little noisy at times

I could come and go without disturbing others or being disturbed.

It was conveniently located to town and the lake

Nothing

The facilities were fantastic.

Very lovely and kind host! The accommodation is superb - it has all amenities one might need, including a kitchen with a fridge, two comfortable single beds, a clean bathroom, a little living room with a TV and even a small back yard with direct access to your own parking spot. Oh and also a washing machine! The location is quiet and private! But keep in mind that it's a wee bit away from the city center so walking will take a while - but by car it's only 5 minutes away.

Comodidad de las camas y los detalles hogareños

La distancia al centro y lugares turísticos

The breakfast items suppled were thoughtful and generous. The space and comfort of the living and bed rooms was perfect. Plus we loved the little outdoor sitting area.

Loved all aspects of this accommodation. Location was great, clean, well equipped and comfortable.

The accommodation was perfect for us. It is out of the busy parts of Taupo. Yes, almost country. The facilities were spot on. Breakfast was light and perfect for those who want to be on the road early. The heating was effective.

Everything was great.

Great little spot near not too far from the race track and town safe parking for the car. Hosts were very welcoming. would definitely stay again.

Excellent location as handy to town

Todo muy bien 👍

the continental breakfast was great

The property had a rural view on the outskirts of Taupo. This suited me as I was heading north but wasn't near a supermarket or restaurants if you were staying longer. The property is located on a main road which was quite busy during the day, but quiet at night. It was great to have a carport. The bedroom had two single beds - comfortable and with an extra duvet. The owner had turned on the gas heater prior to my arrival, so it was nice and warm. The kitchen was well provisioned including a continental breakfast. There was a lovely hot shower.

It would have been great to have a choice of pillows - something thinner and softer would have been great.

It was a surprise to see the breakfast items, very much appreciated.

Pillows wasn’t to my liking, I would bring my own next time

Spacious, well equipped unit. Peaceful location and nice view. Didn't see the hosts but they were friendly on phone :-) Would definitely recommend. LOVED THE AMAZING SHOWER PRESSURE!!!!!!

Bedroom really needs black-out curtains as the blinds still let in light. Apart from that it's a fantastic place.

Everything was great. Bed was comfy, shower was lovely and great pressure, really well stocked kitchen with food which I wasn't expecting and so clean. Would stay again.

Nothing at all.

I had a quiet and peaceful stay at Almost Country! I was attending an event at Taupo Motorsport Park, this accomodation was located conveniently between the town centre and the track. After an eventful day it was nice to return and be able to relax in a place that felt so homely. This accomodation is well set up for a longer stay and if I travel to Taupo again in future this will be my first pick.

Honestly there's nothing significant to note for dislikes. The only minor mention was that I was surprised to see there wasn't Conditioner provided as a staple amenity (there was Shampoo), however I always travel with my own toiletries so this wasn't a problem for me.

Close to town. Quiet at night. Very clean. With lots of blankets and heating option. Nice to have electric blankets ❤️

Nothing, definitely stay again

Quite large, very neat, tidy and the fit out modern. Quite private layout, not far from town only a 5 minute drive.

All good no problems.

The unit had all that was required for a two week stay and more. The kitchen was well-equipped and there were plenty of extra towels and bedding if required. The unit was warm, clean and comfortable and extra heating was available if required. Breakfast was included for the first night but there was more than enough supplied for a week for two. It was private and quiet even being on a main thoroughfare.

Great selection

A longer couch to stretch out on but the one there was comfy enough

Lovely, immaculate place. Comfortable beds. Quiet neighborhood. The unit had everything we needed and more for our three day stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Taupo.

Nothing.

Peace and quiet ,ironing board, great shower

Wouldve liked raw sugar for coffee and a small mirror in lounge room as my friend took up the bathroom and bedroom to shower and get dressed....tiny details not really an issue but u asked

Loved this unit. Everything we could require was provided, including kitchen and laundry facilities. Comfy bed, everything clean and welcoming. Location quiet, pleasant, in easy reach of town, and easy to find when we arrived. A very relaxing and comfortable place. Happy to recommend to others and we hope to stay again.

Stay not long enough.

spacious, comfortable, well equipped, quiet location

Lovely welcome, super clean, spacious, everything you need and more. Great location

Good parking easy to get to, clean, tidy, cosy, value for money.

My mistake didn't realise it was two singles instead of queen bed and i found my bed too firm got a bit of a sore back, but this is my preference, my wife found her bed fine. Would have loved a smart TV

Excellent setup, exceptionally clean and tidy. Really appreciated the little touches like juice and breakfast Hosts were very welcoming. Driveway sign made it easy to find

nothing, everything was great

A lovely and helpful host, a roomy, clean room, good breakfast.

A bit far from town.

Great size, everything provided, comfortable, quiet, very clean and super location within easy reach of Taupo facilities.

Nothing I could think of

The strong shower pressure. Clean, tidy and well appointed place.

Nothing.

The beds were so comfortable and the place was fully stocked and lovely. The owners were so sweet and had left us some food for breakfast which was a lovely touch. They were also incredibly accommodating and included a third single bed which was super comfy for us. Very close to Lake Taupo and it was nice to see some cows across the road :)

Nothing!

Everything such as breakfast items, cooking stuff and amenities were well organised and thoughtful.

I don’t have any negative aspects.

It was spotlessly clean. A1 comfortable beds and even supplies left for a light breakfast.

Nothing

Excellent selection for breakfast. The place was spacious and we are scratching our heads as to how they could improve the accommodation. For us as an older couple it was perfect! Jennifer, our host, was wonderful.

Can't think of anything

Good location with easy access and great to have car parking under cover.

Clean, comfortable, handy, host left breakfast makings: cereal, fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, bread and spreads. Great value. Will definitely stay again.

Liked it all.

Lovely location. Carport to park under. Comfy single beds. Very well equipped unit. Cereal, yoghurt, bread and other breakfast goodies were left for us to have.

The weather.

Very nice property, beautifully clean. Very nice couple. Nice and easy to find and not too far from the centre of Taupo.

Comfortable, clean and location

Lovely place to stay thanks

Warm, comfortable. It has everything you could need. The host left some things in the fridge for us to take. Very kind. Close to everything

Everything was 5+. A model for an almost countryside guesthouse

The Incredible India menu in the guest help definitely needs an update as their prices have long soared a good 50%

Loved that the kitchen was fully functional with everything you could think of it was in there. Bonus was breakfast items were provided also the coffee machine on hand to use. Extra bedding and heater to use - plus electric blankets Will definitely come back to stay! Perfect for a girls weekend away :-)

Couldn’t fault anything

Great unit, had everything we needed. Loved the breakfast food provided. Wished we could have stayed longer than one night.

Nice quite location and great facilities

Nothing

very close to the venue we needed to go

second to none

Great location and our Hosts supplied some breakfast food which was great

No Meals .Self contained .Well equipped with all mod cons. Plus roofed Car port. Our second visit. Free use of Washing and drying Machines. Adjoins main house.No other apartments.. A car ride into Taupo 5 minutes approx.

NothingA nice qui

The kitchen was fully equipped with small oven, two burners, microwave, and numerous plates. The full size refrigerator had butter, milk, OJ and bread for toast. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer and soap that we used for no charge. The hostess goes out of her way to supply guests with everything they might need.

Good size, very well appointed, car port parking very useful. Very friendly hosts

All good

The property was very well equipped, comfortable and very spacious. Jennifer was very welcoming and provided breakfast - bread, butter, cereals, jam etc. there were even spices, cooking oil, stock etc in the cupboards. The car port was a bonus as it was very hot during our stay. It was nice to have the use of the table and chairs in the outside space with a view across the countryside.

We love everything
