Reviewed Mar 31, 2026Great place to stay for a weekend. Easy to find and good location in town. Nice layout and 3 decent size bedrooms. 1 little issues was that the listing mentioned 3 bedrooms with 4 beds but it was only 3 beds.

Reviewed Mar 25, 2025We loved staying at this property. It has parking on driveway with a secure electric gate , lovely decking outside and garden area to sit out in. Nicola and Samuel has thought of everything : milk and biscuits were left for arrival and cooking facilities in kitchen was great so well equipped. Shower had nice toiletries if needed. 3 Bedrooms all lovely decor , comfy lounge with smart tv, access to netflix ( if you have own account to sign in ). Highly recommend this homely place . We will be back next time we are over from UK to NZ.

Reviewed Jan 5, 2025Taupo Hidden Gem lived up to the name! A beautifully styled house with an amazing garden. Would be great for a family, lots of space and games to entertain. Very clean and fresh! Highly recommend.
Only slightly out the way from all of the shops and the lake, although lots of secure off street parking and a nice quiet area.
