Perfect spot

We had a great stay at rainbow cottage, it’s a fantastic location, slightly out of what was an extremely busy Taupo. It was a charming house with all the amenities we needed. Will be staying again.

Cute Cottage

This cottage was a great stay with friends for a few days. Bedrooms were a bit out of proportion, with one being quite large, while the other two were very small. Other than that it was perfect for the short stay. The host was very fast at responding prior to and after check in. And it was awesome that they turned the heating on for us prior to our arrival.

Summer Concert

Great location, clean and tidy. Dissapointed in the bunk beds. Top bunk bed was unable to be used. There was a note regarding this when we arrived but this caused friction amongst the teenage kids as two of them then had to use the same bed. Advanced notification may have mitigated this or we may have made a different decision. There were some other minor issues with some light switches not working, possibly needed bulbs changing. Overall an average experience with the unusable bed causing significant, and unnecessary friction which distracted from what would otherwise have been a great break.

Perfect location, clean and comfortable

The location of this lovely cottage is a minute walk from the Lake with great quiet spots to swim and at the outer edge of Taupo. We loved the garden and patio that provided excellent spots to relax and unwind. The cottage is perfectly formed, clean, quiet and comfortable.
