Nice 2 Bed Rm @ 2Mile Bay Taupo
Beautiful modern and clean apartment conveniently located providing privacy and all day sun. The aircon came in handy too. Very well equipped kitchen including condiments, gladwrap etc and various cooking and serveware. Laundry facilities were also well equipped including a laundry basket, pegs and clothes line. Also included board games which the kids loved. Pool was perfect for the summer heat. Beds, blankets and pillows were very comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Tide at Gisborne Port
Great accommodation. Perfect location, close to everything. Apartment was amazing, clean and right by the port. Meet David for check in and he was great and was an easy check in process.

Vue Apartment One
Amazing place to stay, return guests! Will aim to return every month now! The location is SUPERB right in the heart of Ahuriri. Shops and restaurants and cafes at your doorstep not to mention the beautiful beach out your front door! Alannah and Nait are fantastic hosts with stellar communication and attention to detail. Thanks so much you guys!

Serene Getaway - Beach Front!
Stunning location. Stepping out onto the beach was absolutely divine Geraldine was a lovely host, responsive and helpful. Very cute location. I would love to go back. Very doable to get to Gisborne especially if you hire a car.

Waterside Apartment
Pamela was absolutely lovely, and her house was immaculate, comfortable, and in a beautiful position overlooking the marina. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom well equipped and immaculate, and the garden was an absolute joy for sitting in. We would highly recommend Pamela’s house; it is easily the loveliest of all the places we have stayed on our trip to NZ.

Uiskentuie - nest by the sea
From the minute we arrived Virginia & Ken were friendly, helpful and the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, from allowing us the use of their washing machine and drying facilities to providing us with plenty of equipment to cook a meal with and recommending the best places to visit ( including wineries) in the area! We highly recommend them and would most definitely stay there again!

Seaside Sanctuary in Historic Art Deco Building
Staying in an Art Deco architecture apartment is a truly gorgeous experience. You can lie in bed and watch the sunrise over the sea, a peaceful moment that can heal all the worries in life. Sandhya has decorated the house with such warmth and coziness. Every morning, sitting by the window, enjoying the sea view while having breakfast is simply delightful. Upon check-in, there was a small issue where the cleaner had forgotten to take out the previous trash, which attracted some ants. Sandhya promptly communicated with me and resolved the problem, and the ants were quickly gone. Rest assured, the apartment itself is free of ants. The apartment is located by the street, so there is a bit of noise in the morning, but if you wake up early, it won’t be a problem at all. Staying here is an excellent choice. I hope to stay in this lovely little apartment again the next time I visit Napier.

Seaview Apartment 13
We had a wonderful stay at a beach front unit. Jaki was very proactive in communication and friendly. Walk to the beach is only a few minutes away. Kitchen and bathroom are clean with all the amenities we needed. Nice comfortable beds.

Riverside Retreat – Awahuri
Sally provided great hospitality to us including a comprehensive briefing of house facilities and look-outs, as well as recommendations on nice places and restaurants nearby. The house is excellent to hang out with great views (Waikato river is at the corner). I will definitely visit again when I visit Taupo again.

Harris Hideaway
The house was lovely. We not had a very short stay and wish we could have stayed longer and explored.

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.

Charming Morere Lodge Country Cottage
Julie's place is absolutely amazing, picturesque perfection, clean, homely and my sons didn't want to come home. Thanks for such a lovely visit!

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
