Tongariro Adventures

Everything

Nothing

Très bon petit déjeuner. Logement très bien équipé. Hôte super accueillante. Emplacement idéal à quelques mètres de la plage

Very friendly and helpful owners

We stayed in the Boat House and it was exceptional. The room was big and light, the bed was comfortable and the facilities were good. The breakfast was healthy and tasty. On two days we ate breakfast on the patio overlooking the pretty garden. The hosts were very welcoming, informative and helpful. The shuttle to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing was smooth and easy. The lakeside for kayaking, swimming and paddling was just 100m away.

Nothing.

Top mensen die dit runnen Mike en barb dikke pluim voor jullie!

Super accueil et emplacement idéal ! Barb et Mike nous ont merveilleusement bien reçus. Ils ont été très serviables et attentionnés, et le petit déjeuner était délicieux et préparé avec soin. L’endroit est parfait, au bord du lac et directement sur la route menant au Tongariro National Park. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et le recommandons vivement !

Hosts were thoughtful and friendly. Accommodation and the garden were so pretty and spotless. We loved the peace and quiet of the setting. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was a wonderful bonus. Would highly recommend.

La amabilidad de Michael y Barbara y la ubicación al lado del lago Taupo

Nada

Barb und ihr Mann waren super freundlich und haben uns viele Tipps zur Freizeitgestaltung gegeben. Das Frühstück war lecker, alles sauber und ordentlich, Parkplatz vor dem Haus. Alle Betten waren mit Heizdecken ausgestattet. Großartig. Terrasse vor der Eingangstür, der See ist fußläufig in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Top, gerne wieder

Un petit paradis niché dans un beau jardin à deux pas du lac et de ses plages. Le studio est spacieux, lumineux et très joliment décoré. L'accueil de Barb est merveilleux, alliant discrétion, bons conseils ( notamment pour les randonnées dans le parc de Tangarino) et une attention bienveillante. Le délicieux petit déjeuner est préparé avec soin .

We stayed here recently for 3 days but wish it was longer We had the superior studio apartment which is separate from the house and very private Furnished to a very high standard and we had breakfast each day in the garden What really makes this place special is the owners Barb and Mike They are on hand if you need any info but also let you have utmost privacy if required We felt like we were staying with old friends The property is 2 mins from the lake where you walk/swim or just relax There are also kayaks Onsite you use We stayed here as were doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing Hike and the owners have a shuttle service to the start and finish Barb also recommended and booked local restaurants for us which were ideal Would Highly Recommend

Facilities were excellent and private. Beds were comfortable. Best accommodations of all of the places we stayed in NZ. The hosts made us feel welcome and were so helpful in providing travel tips and dinner recommendations. Lovely property.

Helpful and friendly hosts, location was great.

Great spot near to lake , comfortable bed and everything we needed

The breakfast was great in the comfort of a clean and beautiful home! And the location was lovely, with stunning views and short walks and not far to drive to find activities that had good advice from the hosts.

Eigentlich nichts

Die Fotos suggerieren, dass es sich um eine Wohnung im Obergeschoss handelt, es ist allerdings die Dachterrasse der Vermieter. Zwei kleine Schlafzimmer und kaum Platz für Gepäck, die Raumaufteilung sehr komisch, das Spülbecken befindet sich im Badezimmer! Die Wohnung ist durch die Dachterrasse sehr dunkel und sehr kalt. Das Bootshaus kann durchaus die Bewertung verdienen, was wir nicht beurteilen können, die Doppelzimmer jedoch nicht!

Un endroit magique, exceptionnel où il fait bon vivre, le calme et la sérénité. La propreté des lieux, la qualité de l’hébergement, des hôtes exceptionnels, d’une gentillesse comme l’on ne trouve plus, accueillants et à l’écoute. Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux.

Unsere liebenswerte Gastgeber waren sehr bemüht uns Alternativen zum Tongariro Crossing zu ermöglichen (der Walk war aufgrund eines Feuers gesperrt). Am Ende haben wir eine Kajaktour auf dem nahegelegenen Flüsschen unternommen. Keine Zivilisationsgeräusche. Nur wir und sonst Natur mit Vogelgezwitscher. Die Unterkunft war super. Gerne wieder.

Great host, location, and facilities

Fabulous location and very kind hosts. Kayaking on the lake and up the river was just magical

Very comfy bed, clean accommodation just what we needed

Liebevoll eingerichtetes und sauberes Gartencottage „the boathouse“ mit allem was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht. Die Vermieter Barb und Mike sind herzlich und immer bemüht die richtige Wanderung oder das richtige Restaurant für ihre Gäste zu finden. Wir kommen immer gerne wieder.

Es gibt nix zu meckern.

Well situated, Well appointed cottage

Clean, quiet and very comfy.

Nothing. All was spot on.

Everything was so wonderful there! The Boathouse was really nice and with enough space for all of our stuff. Barb and Mike were really nice to us and Mike had so many good tips for different activities and places to eat. We really loved it there!

Great breakfast, large room. BBQ and terrace space. Convenient for the Alpine Crossing

The hosts were great and the location close to the lake was ideal. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room to lay out our stuff. Parking was convenient and it was easy to get in/out. Breakfasts were nice and fresh. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Close access to the walking path at the edge of the lake was a plus.

It would have been nice to have a better place to eat breakfast indoors. The weather wasn’t quite right for eating it outside on the deck while we were there.

Barb & Mike are excellent hosts, very generous with their time. Barb made the logistics of the Tongaririo Crossing very straightforward for us. The breakfast is excellent. The property is very close to Lake Taupo. The apartment is welcoming, comfortable and clean.

It would have been nice to have more cooking facilities - a stove and a sink.

Host provided a very convenient shuttle service to the start of the Togariro trail. This allowed us to take our time for this wonderfull walk - our own car was waiting for us at the end of the trial . Great breakfast .

Little restaurants in the area - best prepare or have your host arrange a booking

The boat house was beautiful and very clean, great little yard.

Loved our time with Barb and Mike. Would recommend it to others. Very good sized room and breakfast was great.

Nothing

Very confortable place and such a nice welcome from Barb ! The hosts are making the place wonderful, always showing extra care.

Only a few steps from lake Taupo, very quiet and peaceful, decorated with taste, and with Barb & Mike as perfect hosts, we had a great time at Tongariro Adventures! Their suggestions for activities and places to eat were really valuable, and if you stay there and intend to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, you must book their wonderful shuttle service (“door to mountain”)! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Very nice location, quiet. Good for family trip

Was a lovely stay

It would be nice to have a little basin in the room

Our stay at Tongariro Adventures was nothing short of delightful. Barb and Mike, our hosts, were super friendly and very attentive. They greeted us warmly and provided excellent advice on activities in the area. The room was cozy and well-equipped, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast served was delicious and set us up for a day of exploration. The peaceful location near the lake added to the charm of our experience. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better retreat and highly recommend Tongariro Adventures to anyone seeking a memorable getaway.

Lovely accommodation in a great location. Really friendly and helpful hosts.

Not many places to eat in the immediate locality.

Nice breakfast delivered to the room for flexible start in the day. Spacious Boathouse with a little 'kitchen corner'. Lovely hosts with a lot of good recommendations on how to spend your time in the area.

No complaints!

Barb and Mike were wonderful hosts. Very helpful and generous with their time in recommendations. It was a perfectly peaceful retreat after tramping the Tongariro Northern Circuit. The bed was super comfy and simple yet fresh and delicious breakfast. The closest shops are a wee drive but the couple of restaurants nearby are great.

Everything! Great spot close to the lake with a wonderful garden, fully equipped and new accommodation, best breakfast with fresh fruits ans everything you need. Great hosts! They offered a lot of advise and drove us to the crossing. Absolutely recommendable! Would definitely go there again!

Nothing!

Barb and Michael are lovely hosts and were supporting us with our trips and helped us plan the perfect stay.

Barb and Mike are excellent hosts. They were extremely friendly and helpful and provided excellent advice about things to do in the area. The room had everything we needed and was most comfortable. Breakfast was great!

Nothing at all

The hosts were exceptional. Friendly, kind and full of local knowledge. My teenager and I shared the downstairs twin room. We had everything we needed, comfortable beds, a good selection of games and books. The location was a 30 second stroll to the lake. I especially enjoyed the quiet and laid-back surroundings and it was easy to slip into holiday mode. Using the kayaks on the lake and into the river was lots of fun. I would recommend staying here.

Hosts were lovely

Little privacy

The hosts (Barb & Mike) are very welcoming and supportive. The suggested us lots of things to do in the area. You can rent kayaks with them, which is awesome. The lake is really close to the B&B, so you can do a short dip in the lake at any time. The boathouse is very spacious, cosy and very well equipt. The terrace outside is perfect for dining and relaxing. We enjoyed the stay very much, we can warmly recommend it. :)

walking distance to the lake, amazing powerful shower, lovely comfy bed, very informative hosts added bonus of washing machine.

Great Breakfast - tasty and good size for a hefty tramp. Mike and Barb also very flexible with timings etc.

Great location and really comfortable and clean place to stay. Owners were super friendly and attentive. Breakfast was lovely and fresh.

Mike and Barb are exceptional hosts! The property is beautiful and the location a minute walk to the lake. The Boat House was flawlessly clean, and well appointed. Everything you need.

Nothing, it was all great.

Helpful and friendly hosts, quiet, clean and comfy rooms, beautiful location and a fantastic kayak experience. Breakfasts were included and fresh - a real home away from home

Great host with good flexibility for the activities, the room was comfortable and with a high quality breakfast! Thanks for having us!

barb is so welcoming and friendly. she offered a lot of advice with regards to Tongariro and nearby restaurants. the breakfast was great. apartment was big, comfortable and clean.

you could hear some noise from upstairs- I am a light sleeper and it didn’t bother me though!

Super friendly and helpful hosts, very attentive, big living area , big bathroom , there was everything there we needed, Including washing machine and nespresso machine

Wifi did not really work, drafty windows but we got a heater as it was freezing, if you are a light sleeper like me- it was quite noisy as u hear the hosts upstairs walking, running the water, talking etc so this was unfortunately a big minus for us

Great spot by the lake and really comfortable room.

All great

Location was lovely.

Owner was very condescending, checked twice that we would leave the house tidy, which of course we did but she did during stay inspection and as you can imagine, with 2 teenage kids, kitchen appeared a bit messy when she dropped by.

Fresh and modern decor with lots of space.

compact space with what you need

the humidity, mold and not much sun due to where the room is

Our hosts were incredible - they made our time at Lake Taupo amazing. They were accommodating and went the extra mile for us during our stay, we cannot thank them enough! We are very excited to return ASAP.

We loved Barb and Michael’s hosting. The boathouse house was idyllic. We received a lovely breakfast tray each morning. The Boathouse was spotlessly clean. It was tranquil and relaxing

There is nothing to dislike about this property. It deserves 10 out of 10 every time

washer and dryer!

small waste bins

The loaction was fantastic and the hostibility was wonderful. We would visit again and again.

All was excellent therefore no comment

Barb and Mike are fantastic hosts. The property is fantastically comfortable, clean and relaxing. We wanted for nothing. Barb offered plenty of thoughts and ideas on places to go. For those wanting something more strenuous there are options on your doorstep or a short drive which Barb and Mile can help with. Loved it there.

Nothing! Only that we couldn’t stay for longer!

very comfy, spacious and quiet. hosts were all around excellent, friendly and informative

nothing really

It was an amazing stay! The host are so welcoming, I really enjoyed staying here.

Superb accommodation, lovely quiet location. Excellent hosts who made our stay here so enjoyable. It's staying in places like this that make our holidays special. So pleased we got to do the Tongariro crossing. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for 2 nights in the Boathouse studio accom - a beautiful large room with ensuite - all mod cons, very quiet and private. Barb and Mike were very accomodating. Unfortunately weather was not great .. but it didn’t detract from our stay !

Nothing

Barb and Mike are great hosts, room is lovely and awesome location. Perfect for a relaxing holiday!

Fantastic host (Barb). Very keen to help you make the most of your time in the area. Lovely space to stay in. Clean and tidy, lovely breakfast. Enjoyed use of the BBQ.

Lovely stay,marvellous breakfast and great hosts, thanks!!

Barb and Micheal are wonderful hosts which surprise you with a nice little breakfast in the morning. The took us to Tongarironationalpark and the Crossing which was very comfortable and entertaining

Mike provided us with helpful information and guided us on where to go and what to do during our short stay there. Excellent place as a base to explore Tongiroro attractions. Boat House is our top-rated choice accommodation of our 16D road trip. Highly recommended for its great location, room cleanliness and super hosts.

Not applicable

Nice small contained unit but definitely big enough for a getaway for 2. Very clean and welcoming.
