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.

Amazing Getaway
We had a great long weekend. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. Check in was easy and Carolyn had kindly turned on the lights and heat pump for us. We loved sitting on the deck watching the cars, yet you could hardy hear the traffic inside. The kitchen has everything you need and the beds are very comfortable. Carolyn was great to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
