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.

Lakeview Bliss - Acacia Bay - Stunning view

ZhenminRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house is in a great location and the rooms are spacious enough. You can see Taupo Lake from the living room. The only minor drawback is that the towels provided in the bathroom are not clean enough. Some turn yellow, while others are covered in dust. But our family still likes it very much and we live happily.

Luxe at the Lake Mangawhai

MyleneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We love the place, it was what it looks like on the photos. Just looking at the view outside the house is amazing and the house is spectacular in all aspects. Perfect for this time of Easter where we dont do anything and just bond with the family and be at peace with nature. Terri was very responsive to my text. Our communication was seamless. Would highly recommend this place to my friend and family.

Luxury 1BR Apartment right by the Lake.

SanyaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This place is absolutely ideal. Firstly - it looks even better than the photos. The view is stunning - whether just relaxing in the living room, balcony, bedroom - you have unobstructed & private views. The unit is private, quiet, and has everything you need. I stayed for 4 nights and felt fully at home. The balcony is amazing for relaxing. The location for me was perfect, as it’s only a short drive/walk to QT - but yet it’s more quiet/less busy. The track for walking or cycling along the water is literally a few steps away. So close to the airport too. I loved everything about the unit & it is a huge part of what made QT as amazing as it was! Would highly recommend to book.

Cosy Cottage Overlooking Lake Pukaki

PriyaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Beautiful lakefront cottage with incredible views and a quiet and private location. This home is older but clean and well-maintained. There is no central heat or AC but the space heaters were effective. The host provided lots of information about activities. The house is located about 35-45 minutes to Mount Cook National Park and Lake Tekapo, 7 minutes from Lake Pukaki retreat (stargazing) and 15-20 minutes from Twizel with shopping and restaurants. The house was larger than expected with 4 twin and 1 larger (queen or king?) bed. Checkin was easy, kitchen was well-equipped and our stay was great.
