Hilltop Cottage

The abilty to watch, subcribed TV such as the fav netflix, thats a huge plus. Outdoor area, yard gate can be closed. Beatiful parking space, great for big families, close to the shops, great fish n chips, quiet nieghbourhood. Not too mordern to be extra careful about our little one, felt like home.

There wasnt any coffee or milk to make cuppa, two teabags. Just to be picky tbh overall great..

Location was perfect. Great parking for more than 1 vehicle. Erin was a very thoughtful host and had closed the curtains & turned on the heat pump, as she knew we were arriving later in the evening. We really appreciated that. Communication was excellent. The house is nicely decorated and has an inviting feel. Great shower, lovely kitchen and handy to have a washing machine available if needed.

Beds were a bit hard for our liking, but that is a personal preference. Not enough pillows. There were no bedside lamps.

Couldn’t work sky tv. The instructions didn’t work.

Everything

Nothing

House was clean

Nothing

Easy to find and close to taupo lake. Can comfortably fit our group of 6 with the 3 rooms. The Bathroom seems to be renovated. But not the other parts of the house. The property owner is responsive on messages and on calls.

It's an old house so expect old things. But the kitchen utensils are not cleaned. The frying pans have scratches, the bedroom have no lampshades so its pitch black once you turn then off, the heaters are old and barely keeping the room warm so its still cold. The kitchen range hood switch is broken. The beds and covers smell like dust (or maybe it could be from the old mattresses). Overall the lights are dim at night as well.

Location and space

Could be a little tidier and modernized.

It was cozy

Couple of the beds weren't very comfortable,

The house was so warm! All the bedrooms have heating. 5 minutes and the house is warm! The shower pressure is amazing!

It would be great if the bedrooms had lamps but not a big deal!

It was very comfortable and warm house. All the basic things you need are well provided. Great location, perfect for families and group of friends.

The house is clean, except that there's a cockroach in the kitchen. Otherwise, all clean :)

Shop across the road and close to everything. The property was cosy and had exactly what we needed.

Not staying longer

We really enjoyed staying here. The house was spacious, clean, and had plenty of room to relax. The neighbourhood was quiet, calm, and peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day. It was also very close to the lake, so I managed to go for a morning walk and enjoy the peaceful surroundings alongside the locals. A lovely stay that made us feel comfortable throughout our trip!

The only downside was that there was just one bathroom, so it could get a little chaotic having to wait and take turns, especially with a group. Other than that, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Location was the main reason we chose this accommodation, as it’s directly across the road from The Mole where we had our work dinner. We had a bit of trouble getting Sky to work, but we were able to log into our Netflix account and relax after our night out. The heat pump worked well and kept the place cosy. We would recommend the firmer bed in the room next to the dining area as it was very comfortable. The shower had good pressure. Overall, my husband and I felt right at home and would happily stay here again in the future.

Maybe clean the prints off the windows. I cleaned the glass on the door leading to the deck and would have cleaned some more if I had newspaper or paper towels. The hot water wasn't working in the kitchen for some reason, but didn't really matter too much as we didn't cook there.

Good location, clean, tidy warm & comfy, great shower. Pet friendly :)

性价比高 干净

要是有两个卫浴就好了

Comfortable beds and well equipped house . Location was good.

Could have done with a coffee plunger perhaps, and supplied some ordinary tea?

Logement fonctionnel, petit centre commercial à proximité et lac facilement accessible à pied.

Great location, easy to find and short drive to central Taupo. Shops were close to the property too. It was pouring with rain when we arrived so the carport was awesome, everything we needed was at the property.

Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom probably needs a clean, could also put a rubbish bin in the bathroom. A dishcloth would have been handy in the kitchen, to wipe the benches, as there was only a scourer. (One of the seats at the dining table had a weird grease

This property has a great location. Super convenient with the shops across the road, and to town. Very comfy beds.

Such a great location.

Things were good in general. Showers' water pressure was good. House location is close enough to the main center of Taupo where it only takes around 2-3 minutes drive but it's far enough to walk. Front yard is spacious.

We arrived at late night and can't find the key box anywhere the area the host mentioned as the description is very confusing but luckily the door was unlocked so we could get in. We only able to find the key box at the very last moment before we checked out the property as I need to lock the door. Also on the coffee table in the lounge there were bunch of ants crawling around which was a bit disgusting. Beds are a bit to soft and bouncy.

The location was perfect and the house was great for a family!

Confort, propreté et espace

We liked that it had everything we needed for a nights stay. The house was really tidy and super clean

Very minor thing but it would've been great to have face cloths and also mirrors in the bedrooms.

Great location, easy to find, clean and tidy, comfortable and cosy, awesome.

Better that host can email the password of the lock box in advance.

A nice comfortable house, with a great fenced section

Communication, location and value for money. Lovely sheets.

Beds weren't overly comfortable. Very soft. Could feel springs on some. Probably need an update.

No breakfast but it was a nice place to stay in

House is few walks away from chinese take away, cafe and dairy. Enough kitchen space to work on your meal. The outdoor space is well maintained and clean. Two out of three rooms are fine. The bathroom is clean.

The couch is dirty and smells bad. The masters bedroom also smells, it might not have been cleaned properly before our use. One of the bedroom matress is very soft but it's tolerable. If the couch is replaced and maybe a one off professional clean of the property, the place would have been great.

All what we needed

A few things were a bit dirty but not a big deal for us.

Lake Taupo is (literally) just down the road. 2km from town center, so close enough to enjoy everything it has to offer (e.g. restaurants), but far away from hustle and bustle of holiday makers. Lovely deck to sit on and enjoy the fresh air. Spacious. Had everything we needed.

No problems.

Good location; simple but comfortable home with the main basic necessities.

We were a group of friends with one child; bedding configuration was an important consideration for us in choosing this accommodation. The Booking.com listing mentioned a single bed along with a double bed in one room, which wasn't the case. There was a fold-out bed available in one of the wardrobes, but no linen for this was provided. This was disappointing for us; luckily I'd brought a camping mattress and a spare sheet along just in case, and we ended up using that instead. The shower drain also was clogged up by the 2nd morning and needs de-clogging.

It is a clean 3 bedroom house. It offers a great place to stay and highly trecommend

Nothing

Great location with a lovely bar across the road with great food, chippy and dairy. Easy walk down to the waterfront. Fully fenced gardens.

The beds were very uncomfortable. The property is listed as stylish, but it is very dated and unclean. The kitchen was not well equipped as listed with free tea bags. Overpriced for the condition of the property.

Excellent location, dairy & takeaways directly across the road. Nice and tidy outdoor areas. Super comfortable bedding!

Kitchen area was a little dirty. Ants and cockroaches inside which might just be a local thing as we have experienced that at other Taupo air BnBs.

Bed in first bedroom was not very comfortable.

Great location, fairly priced, excellent communication from the property owner

Beds could have been more comfortable

Clean and comfortable. Easy walk to Mole & Chicken Restaurant & Bar for tea.

Location, quiet & easy access / parking. Air conditioner, as cool night. Lounge seating & television. Shower pressure.

Mattresses not comfortable, bathroom heater not working. Inadequate bedding/blankets etc, for zero degree night. Very basic kitchen amenities.

Convenient, clean, good parking, functional, safe.

Listed as having 4 beds. It had 3 beds plus a broken foldout wooden slat frame, with thin foam mattress. Someone was relegated to the couch for our stay. Beds are pretty rugged, bases are very soft springs, almost like a waterbed to lay on. I wouldn’t recommend sharing with another person.

The house was lovely and warm when we arrrived in late afternoon/evening. Its in good location, a few minutes drive to town center and lake front, and its nice and quiet for relaxing evening after dinner in town. Kitchen has fridge and stove making it convenient if you want to cook your own breakfast. We didnt cook, but i find it's great for family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Couple of things that would really improve the overall experience: 1. The beds weren't very comfy, perhaps if better quality beds would have made it a perfect stay. 2. One of the bedrooms has no heater, there is no place to plug in heater. We found the plug behind the headboard, but we couldn't move the bed to make it work, so the 3rd bedroom was quite cold at night. The other 2 bedrooms have a heater in each room. Our visit was in June (winter time).

Clean, homey, spacious, near tourists destinations and commercial areas.

Love the location walk to the lake was not far at all. Convenient store right oppositethe house which was prefect. We loved that we could have taken our dog with which she got to enjoy the big yard.

The biggest down fault is the beds are very very soft the beds definitely needs an upgrade.

Close to central

Great lounge, vert comfy beds, good heating, amazing shower pressure! You went out of your way to set the house up for 4 adults, Thanks!

There was no coffee, tea or milk 🥰

Very clean! Simple yet beautiful decors bedding everything!

We enjoyed our stay. Got everything

Communication was great and our questions answered promptly. We were expecting a higher standard based on photos and price. Beds were very soft and bouncy so not great for 2 people in the same bed. Dust on the window sills above the bed. Otherwise a comfortable home style accommodation, just a bit overpriced for the standard.

Tidy and quiet, it allowed our dog to be with us.

Uncomfortable beds- and spider webs on wall and ceilings

Sky TV and the deck was great. Shops across the road. Plenty of room.

The bed was very uncomfortable in the main bedroom.

Good location with fenced property, great for traveling with dogs and for off street parking.

Bathroom was clean but dated, kitchen was not clean and smelled of burnt meat. Couches stained and long black hairs on them. Bed had very soft uncomfortable mattress.

Property was cosy and clean. The location was so convenient, shop, coffee and takeaways across the road, 5 minutes to every place we were going.

Nothing was great!

Perfect layout for weekend workshop. Everything we needed close to hand including short walk to restaurants in town and a couple of minutes to the lake

It is as advertised so we weren’t expecting anything more than what was there. Could have had more plugins for chargers by the bed and we couldn’t get the air con working- but very minor

None

Terrible Place in my whole life give wrong address
