Loved our stay!! Would absolutely recommend!
Loved our stay here! The host Carolyn is very sweet and communicative, and had great recommendations for places to visit on our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable, it felt like home! The whole surrounding area felt safe, and was just a short walk into town and short drive to attractions like Huka Falls. The parking garage and washer/dryer were appreciated. All was quite comfortable for our short stay, but would absolutely serve longer stays well, also. Loved our time there, would absolutely recommend.

Amazing!!!
Absolutely fantastic experience! “Escape to Taupo” was the perfect getaway. From the stunning natural beauty to the endless outdoor adventures, every moment was unforgettable. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable. We were here for the Ironman and it was the perfect location. Just a ten minute walk to the finish! The local food was a delight, and the people were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone seeking relaxation and adventure in one incredible destination. Will definitely be back!

Stunning views from gorgeous home.
Private in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful overview of entire coast. Watching the sunset over Tauranga then seeing the lights coming on around the bay from the comfort of Carol’s home was the restful break we needed.Although not new the house felt new. Quality blinds let you choose between shade screens and total privacy. Great value for a wonderful home.

Awesome place for a short or long stay
We loved the property and all the effort the owner had put in to make this a great experience. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very comfy beds and linen. Didn't notice too much street noise. Sure was a home away from home.

Lovely haven
We loved our stay here! The apartment has everything you could possibly need and is immaculately tidy. The kids were delighted with the chocolate biccies left for them and were very excited to find a stash of toys hidden in the lounge. It is close to the main road out of Taupo which is quite busy but the traffic noise wasn’t too bad. We will definitely be back!

Perfect for a quick weekend stopover
A very nicely presented and very clean property, with all the kitchen amenities I needed. I was in Taupo for a sports event so just needed somewhere fairly central with easy access to the city centre and out to Kinloch etc. This met all of my needs. Excellent communications from Carolyn the property manager and I was made to feel very welcome. I would definitely like to return for another weekend stay. Thanks!

The house has everything you could possibly want. Carolyn has thought of everything. The beds are comfortable and stylishly dressed. The kitchen is stocked with all utensils, air fryer, oven stove etc. Laundry and bathroom are big and the whole place is immaculately clean. Carolyn made arriving here easy and its so close to town. I give Rahiri a ten out of ten for value and comfort. Thanks Carolyn.
