Cheerful decor .Comfortable house. We could have walked to a decent restaurant a few hundred metres away. Nice deck. Short drive to shops. A little highway noise but I still slept well.

FISHING HOLIDAY
Unfortunately the property is one house away from National Highway One which is used by large transporters 24 hours a day. To make it worse the occupants of that house also rarely sleep at night and continuously play extremely loud booming music most of the day and night. The beds should have electric blankets!!!

Super convenient location for exploring Lake Taupo and hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. No a/c, but we made it work by opening some windows at night when it cooled off.

Cozy house in neighborhood
We stayed for 2 nights before and after the Alpine crossing. Lovely home in quiet neighborhood. Plenty of living space. Slightly cluttered with no space in closets to hang clothes. Low pressure shower water and tub faucet leaky. No outlets in the bathroom. Updated kichen with plenty of space. Nice to have washer. Great local eateries all around.

Stay in Turangi
Property was clean and somewhat dated but had everything we needed. Problem with hot water was fixed promptly by the host. No central heating but space heaters were provided. Good response time from host for any of our questions. Property advertised a hot tub but we could not find it. Overall a good stay.
