Everyone found it too hot for sleeping at night ( may be the heat settings) and also the walls were so thin they could hear each other in other bedrooms
Nice and clean
Bathroom needs a lock
Well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable bed.
lovely tidy house
The house is warm and nice.
The shared bathroom doesn’t have the lock, which caused potential embarrassment while someone using the bathroom.
Great location, short drive to city centre, house was immaculate. Happily recommend to others. Door code access was great when you have a group of people arriving at different times.
Very clean tidy and comfortable
Strong smell of petrol or similar coming from garage that was slowly filling house. Tried unsuccessfully to find source.

No complaints
Spacious and warm. Beautifully clean. Well equipped. Comfy beds.
Nothing
The location was good not far from town
None of the had locks like bed room doors and toilet door , That’s was bad . Only the master bed room was good sized rest of room were tight .
The house and location. Beautiful kitchen and appliances, equipped with all cooking equipment. A lot of space. Central heating (when it works). Comfortable beds. Immaculate clean.
It was the second time we stayed at this property. We liked it very much on our first visit, that’s why we stayed there again. The first time it was very good. On the last visit the central heating was not working. The DVS or HRV system was not working. The kettle was not working. The door lock in the bathroom/toilet was broken. I reported about all of this to the management, which they promised to fixed straight away. We stayed there for 4 days and nothing has been done. Though they dropped the toaster instead of kettle. It was very cold in the house, especially at nigh. It’s a new and beautiful property, but management is appalling.
Location and size
House was very cold. A portable heater in each room would have been good. The electric kettle was not working
The neighbourhood was in a good location - close to the town centre. Quiet neighbourhood. The rooms were clean and provided sufficient towels and all the toiletries. Kitchen was fully equipped with all the appliances that we were able to cook all our meals.
Nothing! Everything was great at this place.
Very warm and comfortable and plenty of room for us all.
We couldn’t get the main TV to work and contacted the property management team. They were getting a tech person to look at it but left without it working.
Location facilities and decor
There were only 2 pedestial fans provided for 4 bedrooms. There is no cross ventilation in the bedrooms so 2 of us really struggled to sleep at night. The lounge could do with some dim/muted lights. The bright lights spoil the beautiful area for relaxation.
Very spacious and very well equipped with everything four adults needed for a few days away. The property was so lovely we found ourselves preferring to stay home to sit in the sun, read, and catch up. It was a relaxing home away from home.
The home was perfect for us, nothing to fault.
It was well appointed and a good location.
Some of the taps didn't work properly and the kids bike was unusable as the gearing was broken. There is an area of the kitchen floor area which is dangerously slippery when wearing socks. It's between the island and kitchen table.

lovely neat place and we’ll maintained
Beautiful modern house, plenty of room,
Beautiful and comfortable house with a great layout in a peaceful location
There was everything we needed and more. The house was spotlessly clean and perfect for families with children with plenty of books and games provided. The kitchen was well stocked with nearly every possible type of utensil or tool - you could even bake a cake! We also enjoyed that it was located so close to the beautiful botanical gardens which have lovely picnic spots,
No cupboards available in the main bedroom - only a small issue as we just next the cupboards in the closest bedroom.
Beautiful house in a great location (about 4km) from IRONMAN New Zealand venues. So great to have a full kitchen and the garage, plus the bedrooms were super comfortable for the four of us.
The climb up to the house is a bit intense but it's not something we can change! I wish there had been a bit more amenities for our week-long stay.
modern, tasteful, good outdoor area, washing machine with clothes line, some pantry provisions, easy to relax
had to drive to the centre but not a problem really
Such a perfect, modern and convenient place. Spotless.
Very modern with all the Bella and whistles... better than home!
I liked the location of the home, it was central to the main township & the house was very comfortable for my family & we liked the kitchen very much 😊
Clean, tidy, comfy, great back deck
Such a beautiful, clean property. Had an incredible outdoor space to socialise.
The outdoor space!
This was a wonderful place to stay. Beautifully modern, warm and clean. The layout was great for a family. Definitely recommend staying here and we would absolutely book it again.
It would be great if there was a knife sharpener and also some plastic chopping boards. Also, the property isn’t fenced which was a bit tricky for us with young children.
We love the place, very clean and spacious. Modern kitchen has all the cook utensils we could think of.
There was no wardrobe available in the master bedroom and the mattress in the twin bedroom was old and uncomfortable.
Great location, very tidy and welcoming. Easy communication through Booking.com.
Only thing we found was that the central heating was quite hot so we woke up nice and toasty and it was quite stuffy when we had been out during the day but it was easy enough to use the air con/open doors and windows to help that. Was nicer to be too warm rather than cold!
Loved the open home family vibe. The seperate spaces as we baught Our 5 kids and friend on a weekend get away to skydive and jet boat. Very happy with the home. It will be our new family holiday home.
Was great location for what we were visitning taupo for.
