It is always our best place to stay & caters for our whanau when we all get together with such a great big space it’s just unfortunate when others don’t leave the property as clean as I would like to have it so I do tend to waste time cleaning on arrival as I always ensure it’s better than how we got it.

Great location - pleasant house

Older property but great deck and view over the golf course had everything we needed. Thanks Kim. I did give the shower a good scrub, there was recycling left outside but it wasn't ours.

Great views and plenty around

Awesome little batch with incredible views. Loads of things in the extended area. We did plenty of day trips to Orakei Korako, Taupo and surrounds. We could take our dog which was a huge bonus. Very friendly people around and quite a few options for food and coffee in the immediate area.

Excellent location and lovely comfortable house

Great location for a group holiday. House is well equipped and comfortable, although shower a bit fiddly to get even temperature. Previous guests had not done a great job of cleaning after themselves, but otherwise very much enjoyed stay.

Gorgeous Property

Absolutely thrilled with our short stay - only wish we could have stayed longer! The photos really don't do justice to the view, and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. I have a strong suspicion that some of our crew will be returning again soon! Thank you for having us.

Lake vista review

Was such a beautiful place to stay, nice quiet street. There was some rubbish and a full recycle bin left from the last guests so we just dumped it with ours when we left. There was also some mess left in the freezer (looked like melted ice cream maybe) but other than that awesome place you have and would definitely book again! Thanks Kim 😊
