Just what we needed
The house exceeded our expectations. Everything is laid out really well and there was more that enough blankets for the one really cold night we had. Absolutely beautiful location and so close to everything. We’re just annoyed that we didn’t book for longer. We’ll definitely be back (if allowed) and next time it’ll be longer (again if allowed). Thanks so much for having us!

Magnificent position on the lake
Immaculate garden, stunning position and comfortable beds, this was a wonderful place to stay. The views are spectacular from living and dining room and the 2 upstairs bedroom. The downstairs double bedroom is tucked at the back of the house. Lovely private outdoor area with view and easy access onto the Lions Path. We enjoyed and needed to use the cosy fire box. A drawback was the lack of any heating in the bathrooms, and only one oil heater (in the downstairs bedroom). Early morning was cold until the fire downstairs was lit. The fire lighter in the living room needs replacing or refilling and kindling would be a nice alternative to using the firelighter bricks to start a fire. Overall a lovely stay.

This is the second time we have stayed at this awesome accommodation in Taupo. We love the location, the spaciousness of the house and the quietness of the area, yet it is so close to town. The house is well equipped, with the most fabulous lake view.

Superb private location with great views
We loved our stay at “Absolute Lakefront” and the house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. We chose it because of its location and the privacy that it promised and it didn’t disappoint. Caroline quickly responded to a query when we moved in and we subsequently discovered a comprehensive file that gave us all the information we needed. We can thoroughly recommend this very comfortable property.

Fantastic views and location!
Loved the privacy and views from this comfortable place with its perch above the lake’s edge. The place was spotless, beds comfortable and everything we needed for our stay was there. Great communication with the owner too. Will not hesitate to book again next time we come up to Taupo!
