Warm and cosy
Great property, generous space for hosting. Fire created a warm and cosy atmosphere. Good location - close to amenities. Our only downside was a couple of nights of broken sleep because of loud neighbors

Comfortable and spacious
The pictures don't do the home justice - there is ample space to relax and cook and a beautiful garden. The surroundings are quiet, yet close to town

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay in Turangi despite not being able to attempt the crossing due to weather conditions. Very cosey - home away from home. Likely to return in the summer.

Wonderful Location
We had a great time enjoying all of the outdoor adventures available in the Lake Taupo area from Carmel Cottage in Turangi. The house is very well appointed with a large yard and lots of light. The owners are very helpful and responsive to any needs you may have. We thoroughly enjoyed our extended stay at the cottage.

Very clean and well presented
Very enjoyable stay. Well located for the town. Internet would be a big bonus but there is good phone signal. Not keen on taking rubbish to transfer station.

Needs a bit more effort
Generally speaking the property was reasonable. But when we first arrived there was a 'film' of some sort of slippery material over the floor in the kitchen and on the bench tops. The floor was so slippery (potentially dangerous) I had to mop the floor and wipe the bench tops down before we did anything else. The rest of the property is quite clean, however the blankets on the beds seemed quite dusty. They should probably be professionally cleaned. Communication and directions were good. Easy to pick up keys. Probably the strangest thing about the property is there are no rubbish bins. We had to dispose of our rubbish at a local transfer station. I can't imagine why bins are not supplied. The furniture in the property is quite old and dated, and mostly uncomfortable. The grounds are very well kept. I'm sure with a little more effort this property could be much better.

Perfect Bach stay.
Perfect Bach stay. When so many places have totally lost the plot with the true concept of a Bach stay {$1200 + a night!?) Carmel was the perfect balance of comfort, space, location and amenity ( ‘tho it does need a new Steel for knife sharpening!) Located perfectly for everything Tongariro - fishing, walks National Parks and a day venture to Taupo if required. - A short walk to Tuangi town.
