Gather Taupo - Lakeview - Spa Pool

Great location & good for 6-8 individuals

The shower was a bit average with low water pressure. Rest was good!

Great location

The bathroom door didn’t lock properly

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! 🏡❤️ The house was so cozy, comfortable, and very secure for the kids, which gave us complete peace of mind. There were so many fun games and activities for the kids, and the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, making our stay feel just like home. And the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking! The spa was the cherry on top ,we enjoyed it so much, especially in the cold weather. We had such a lovely family stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

The only issue was that the stove was a little tricky to operate because the ‘On/Off’ and ‘High/Low’ markings had worn off.

no breakfast included

the lounge area could do with larger sofas - for a 4 bedroomed home there isn't enough seating for all guests. It was also really cold downstairs and turned out the heaters provided were not working - However we really appreciated the prompt response and provision of new heaters for our 2nd night there - which by the way were really efficient.

The space was great and location was excellent

The kitchen and bathroom was dirty. The kitchen had smear marks everywhere and the appliances were dirty. The bathroom had pubic hair everywhere. The apartment had an overpowering smell of Indian food. The coffee machine had milk in the water dispenser. The milk frother in the cupboard had mouldy milk in it.

Great Location by the lake and walk to shops and cafes.

Nice property in a great location, close to town and across from the lake.

Location we could walk across the highway to the lake. Beautiful view of the lake from our balcony. Clean and slept 7 of us easily.

The kitchen was small and dishwasher was a drawer system which was small for 7 of us meaning the dishes took a lot of juggling to get them to fit, to clean them. All in all very comfortable and clean

We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the opportunity to book the property. I just wanted to offer a couple of suggestions for improvement: • The property was booked well in advance, and I needed to reach out on the day of arrival to obtain the entry code. While this was resolved quickly, it would be helpful if the code could be provided ahead of time, as is commonly done with other rentals. This would make the check-in process even smoother. • The stove could benefit from some attention. The heat settings and elements were not clearly marked, which made it difficult to control... even for preparing a simple breakfast. Improving this would be especially valuable for guests staying longer who may wish to cook proper meals. Overall, these are small refinements that could further enhance an otherwise pleasant stay.

Loved it! Highly recommend

This property was so close to the lake! Such a lovely view. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Lots of rooms and beds. The hot tub for soaking after a day exploring was fun too. Great for a big group!

Modern, clean, walking distance to town, coffee cart across road, great for a group, nice balcony with view of lake.

Love this place

Location, spacious rooms, well equipped house.

It was a beautiful apartment. Wish we could have stayed longer

Couldn't find it when we arrived in the dark

Location was superb, across the lake clean comfy beds. Loved our stay there.

Close to lake . Close to.everything .

Ummm ?. It was super great . Nothing to add here

Fantastic location and a nice layout of bedrooms. Beautiful view of the lake. Love that there is a hot tub.Beds are comfy and linens very good quality. Great to have coffee pos. We had a great stay, even with the rain. We’ll come again. Thanks.

Needs a coffee plunger and serrated knife to cut bread, otherwise there was everything you needed in the kitchen.

Great bedrooms and able to sleep good number of guests. Good Location also

Proximity of neighbors and small living room but not major issues, very happy with property

We were walkable to everything and had amazing like access! We had such a great time !

Easy coms everything was smooth transition . When needed to get hold of owners was straight away . We all enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend this accommodation

View, Spaciousness and location

1. The flies from the lake at night flying into the property. 2. The un-emptied Dyson vacuum cleaner

Great location

Location. Space. Cleanness

great spaces, location and views

Location, view,

Lovely property with a view of the lake from the living room and deck (we stayed in house 2 which has house 1 in front to the left). Lake access is via a gate on the property then across the road or around the neighbouring corner property. A coffee cart appears permanently set up but the house also has a coffee pod machine. The kitchen is small but has everything you need if you want to cook along with a single dish drawer. The rooms are a good size and we had the single beds pushed together for super king size to accommodate couples.

Sadly the spa wasn't warm but we have since learnt the manager could have come to adjust that so message if you find this.

Close to everything and suited our needs for a girls weekend perfectly. Comfy beds and everything was clean and well presented. Spa was lovely after completing the Kinloch Offroad Challenge.

A coffee plunger would have been a nice addition but otherwise everything was great :)

The beds and pillows! Sooooo comfortable. Everyone got a great nights sleep. Location and view.

This is a list of things to have a Dpring Clean going iver to bring it up to scratch and have people feel they got galue for money. Coffee machine won't prick coffee pods properly so couldn't use it Oven door seals worn and sagging ... needs replacing Oven needs instructions on wall to turn it on properly. It was very difficult. Smoke alarm should be placed in lounge not right in kitchen. Outside deck light doesn't work. No spare linen for 'accidents' . (Spilt tea on bed) No 'folder above' with washing / drier instructions as wall sign said there would be ... not above washing machine or 'above' in top shared living area. Multiple brown chest or pubic hairs in top bathroom Black Mark on door under clothes hook in top bathroom Need to take the shower door bottom seal off and clean the yellow brown gunk out No extracter fan in bottom bathroom Front Door constantly sticks and won't open even with right number. Takes five or more tries each time. Kitchen clock battery flat ... doesn't tell the time. Stain on ceiling by cup cupboard A lot of condensation on the windows especially downstairs.

Lovely property Convenient location Beautiful view of the lake

Very well appointed and comfortable property, with great communication from the managers. stunning views across the lake to the mountains. Heat pumps upstairs and heaters downstairs kept the property comfortably warm in winter. Spa was a lovely treat after our walk.

Gather 2 was fantastic for our group of 7. In the winter, the living area would be snug for a larger group, you’d need to use the dining area and chairs. (Less of an issue in spring /summer).

Beautiful location opposite the lake & the best coffee cart in town! Walking distance to town beside the lake. Beds very comfortable and cosy.

Good communication from property owner (property manager) and helpful. It has all you need in terms of facilities for family vacation. Great view as well. We missed it. It hope its pest control done, cleaned and sanitised now. I will definitely go again if they promise it.

Property manager promised for pest control on the call after the incident below. Unfortunately when we went, it was full (i mean a lot of bugs crawling on the ceiling, floor and from the heat pump unit). Completely disgusted. To be honest, the property manager did helped to send someone to clean up that night and change the bedsheets immediately. Despite that they just kept on coming. We vacated late night at 11pm with young kids without any accomodation left in Taupo (due to Matariki). End up paying so much somewhere at 1am check-in. It was extremely challenging for us. Refund was given in full but our difficulties & experience remained a nightmare on that day. Bugs are common in NZ especially in winter its hiding in warmer place. I dont mean to tarnish their reputation.

Quick communication Location Cleanliness Spa

Nothing to comment

House was clean and comfortable. Clear and easy communication with owners.

Great use of space and if warm, can spill over into balcony. With colder weather, living space is quite limited. Our group of 5 were very comfortable.

The size of the house, very big bedrooms!

Parking was a bit tricky

Lakeview, location and clean

House sound proof not good

Easy Lake access, nice place to swim. Spa a bonus as we were travelling for a sports trip. Everything is nice and new.

The nespresso machine worked intermittently, but when it worked made delicious coffee.

Highly recommended place to stay

Location and view

Unfortunately the property was not up to standard on arrival. Bag of rubbish in middle of kitchen, sheets had stains on them and smelt, deck had not been sweeped. We went to use the vacumn cleaner and it had hair and dust all through the the bottom roller. Went to have a BBQ and the gas bottom didn't have enough gas, got one dropped to us within 30 mins.

Great location . Owner was very accommodating. Nice to be able to view lake from the house

The space

I loved everything.

The property was in a perfect position and close to town, Balcony overlooked the lake. Beautiful spot. Owners were nice and responsive to any questions.

Nothing everything was perfect
