Lake Escape
Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

Lake Front Luxury Taupo
Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Lake Views for Days – Okere Falls Escape
Lovely place to stay. We enjoyed the deck and view out over the lake and it was a very comfortable place to stay. Communication with Kylie was quick and easy.

Lake Terrace Taupo
All I can say is WOW! Gorgeous location and walking distance to town. We were met at the place by Sugar "Sug", who walked us through the entire home AND gave us great ideas about eating, drinking and exercising. There was milk in the fridge and flowers on the table...it truly felt like home! Thanks to all, JT

Riverside holiday home. 15 min to Taupō.Sleeps 13.
This is an awesome home. Well furnished and the kitchen has every item you need to cook up a feast. Very spacious and the swim in the river was great. We will be back one day.

Kinloch Lake House
Our 3rd visit and another amazing experience! As always the lake house is spotless and beautifully kept. Despite the gloomy wet weather the house is warm and cozy, with comfortable warms beds. The perfect spot for a family getaway. A quick walk to the lake front for a coffee is a great start to the day. A great base for adventures around Taupo 10/10 recommend

Acacia Bay Kiwi Bach
Excellent stay, suited the two families perfectly.

10 @ Wai Matangi
An amazing place to relax with all the mod cons! The host was super attentive and nothing was a problem. Thoroughly recommend this place and would come back again. Absolutely would rate this as a five star plus place to escape to.

Lakeside Loft
Lovely flat, in a perfect location. There’s nowhere better to stay in rotorua. Kristin was a great host, responsive and has brilliant recommendations on things to do.

Tranquil Couples Retreat Rotorua- Okere Falls.
The perfect spacious place to spend a couple of days while we explored the area. Loved all the windows which let in lots of light, plus the lake view from the living area was pretty special. We felt very at home during our stay, the airbnb is filled with curated artwork, books and good furniture pieces, that seem made for the space. There was a big comfy sofa, plus a basket full of dry firewood (much appreciated, as the weather cool and rainy during our visit). The full kitchen is well equipped, and included a coffee machine, although the local store by the Falls does a good coffee too. We'd love to come back during summer to explore the region further. Thanks for having us to stay.

Lake Okareka Loft
Susie's loft is spacious and comfortable, and only 5 mins walk away from the lake. Smooth check in and out. Would love to stay again!

Bright & Stylish, Walk to shops ,cafes and lake.
Very cosy home. I wish I could stay longer.

Taupo Acacia Escape with Amazing Close lake views.
I was completely impressed with the location and privacy, was exactly what I was hoping for great place to stay for a peaceful getaway.

Addictive View
We loved our stay at Addictive View & only wished we could have stayed longer! A beautiful peaceful location with a gorgeous view. The apartment had everything we could need & was very cosy & comfortable. We highly enjoyed just spending the nights in, enjoying the view & playing cards or reading. Highly recommend it.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home ….. our hosts Marki and Chris were just wonderful and everything about the space and the surroundings was top notch. The furnishings, decor, attention to detail, lovely treats and overall vibe of the home was very special …. Walking distance to the most beautiful little bay, surrounded by nature was awesome. Would thoroughly recommend!!!

Lake Tarawera, spa, lawn to lake jetty & boatshed
This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

Fuchsia Tree Cottage - relaxing, cosy, intimate.
Lovely place close to the lake and a quick drive to Rotorua. The patio was super fun to hang out and we loved the outdoor shower. We liked staying here!

Lakeside Luxury
This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

The Love Shack Lake Rotoiti. Absolute Lake Edge.
The love shack was a gorgeous secluded spot that is perfect for any type of getaway! The hosts were so delightful and had no hesitation with allowing us to charge our EV ,which was so helpful! The love shack itself is beautiful, a very modern decor and it is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need! We will definitely return!

THE LAKE HOUSE - Private with jetty and boat shed
We loved our stay! Was wonderful to be able to tie up our boat at the jetty and visit the hot pools. A very comfortable stay, and the kitchen was very well fitted out for cooking. Was also a great little walk to the cafe. Beautiful views and native birds. Alec was a great host and really appreaciate his great proactive communications. Would love to stay again.

The Taupo Cottage. Lake views & fully renovated
Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

Renovated Tauranga Taupo river view Gem
Tastefully renovated cottage with lovely wooden floors. Detail in funky crockery and glasses, everything you needed to make your own dinners, great selection of games, loved the detail of a coffee machine and beans to freshy grind. Beautiful and sunny out the front. Great back yard if you had young children to run around in.

The Lake House -Bach & Jetty Rotoiti, Rotorua
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, loved the 2 living areas the boys played board games in the enclosed porch while my partner got some netflix in. We enjoyed cooking our pizzas in the Woodfire pizza oven. Gorgeous walk down to the river, lots to do nearby, and I got the best sleep in the comfy bed! Thank you very much.
