Peaceful Perfection

We loved our stay at Ashley’s lovely home and gardens overlooking Lake Taupo and the mountains. It was peaceful and perfect. This spacious home is close enough to town thoroughly enjoy it and far enough away to rest and relax.

Beautiful property, great quiet location.

Traveling with my family of 7 and my parents, I needed a place that could sleep 9 people. My options were slim, however we found the perfect place with this rental. The house and gardens are beautiful, the view is spectacular out to the lake. The location is extremely private, you wouldn’t know you were in a neighborhood as it’s surrounded by native bush. I was nervous from other reviews that the hosts would be onsite, however we never heard nor saw anyone, I actually don’t know if they were there at all!Communication was excellent, check in and check out were easy. I would rent again, 5 stars.

Nice property, clean and tidy. It was a little bit odd to have the owner there just through the wall. We noticed there were no smoke alarms too. The brackets are still there but no alarms.

Peaceful spot with beautiful views

We loved the peacefulness of the place and there were several spots to gather and talk, depending on the weather and the sun, which was great. I hadn't quite realised when I booked that the property manager actually lives in the house normally. There was a lot of food in the fridge and only 2 small shelves cleared for our use (5 adults). We had to rearrange the fridge and put a lot of food into the freezer to clear space. A 5th bed was made available but only had a bottom sheet on so we had to go looking for top sheet/duvet and a pillow and pillow case (found a duvet and pillow but no sheet or pillow case) The other beds were fine. However we had an enjoyable stay, thank you
