Great house!
Great house, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very functional. The terrace was a great place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine looking at the amazing view.

New and Tidy and Warm house
A very new and tidy house. I also enjoy the play room (pool and table tennis table) and the fancy kitchen. There is play ground across the road.

Agréable séjour
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans l’hébergement de Luke. La maison était très grande et parfaite et la vue très belle. Les couchers de soleil étaient magnifiques. Cependant, nous n’avions pas d’auto, nos transports étaient en autobus et comme il n’y a aucune épicerie ou dépanneur dans le village, nous devions appeler un taxi de la ville voisine pour venir nous chercher et reconduire. Donc à prévoir pour les futurs locataires.

Beautiful Taupo, beautiful HomeStay
We were blown away by how beautiful the town of Taupo is. Equally blown away by our stay at Motouapa. We were able to accommodate Mum, Dad and 5 adult kids. We had a great time and would love to come back. Thanks for having us. Sue

Right from the reservation till the end of stay, everything was very professional, kudos to Luke and Michelle. The house was prepared well for our stay, totally no complaints. My uncle and aunt who came from India really loved the property. We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It's a large house and definitely can take 10 easily, though we were only 6. Worth the money. Than paying heavily to stay in Taupo city centre, this is very very sensible and ideal, it's just a 40 mins drive to the top of Taupo. Overall we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. God bless.

About the host

Hosted by Luke Gleeson

Host profile image
I'm married to Michelle and have 2 lovely girls. My wife and I travelled a lot before kids and still love to travel now. The opportunities to travel abroad are not the same as they use to be but we are very lucky to have the chance to explore our beautiful country Aotearoa (New Zealand). We've had lovely experiences using air bnb and now are lucky enough to be hosts ourselves. We pride ourselves in providing accommodation that we would be delighted to stay in.

Why they chose this property

Built in 2019, we chose this location as it had the best of both worlds, on lake Taupo for summer water sports and close to the mountain for winter skiing / snowboarding.
