Belle vue Boutique Lodge is a cute and cosy lodge, with stunning lake views. Liz and Steve are fantastic hosts who have thought of everything! We only stayed one night due to itinerary restrictions, but will definitely be coming back when we are next visiting. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beware - Do not book this place
Beware of booking this property. Not friendly people. A couple run this place and we were running late for check in due to our flight that landed in Auckland later and some of our activities needed to be delayed because of that. We called them in the afternoon asking if it’s okay to come in later due to our delayed flight and activities and the lady said that’s fine, you can come in later in the night. The guy who runs this place later texts us in the evening saying - we cannot honor your reservation, don’t come. This was such last minute for us that we had difficulty finding reservation elsewhere. I would definitely recommend you never to book this place as the people who manage it are not professional, do not honor their words

The owners were so accommodating and the property is spectacular! We were greeted with a complimentary cheese board and enjoyed a bottle of wine on our private balcony that over looked the bay. Our room was clean, quiet, and full of character. Breakfast in the morning was perfect! We loved our experience, partially because of how knowledgeable and kind the owners were. The property is only a 5 min drive into town. I would highly recommend this stay to any couple that wants some serenity and character to their stay.

Wow! What a beautiful place to stay. Steve and Liz are fantastic hosts. Their home has so much charm and character, we knew we were in the right place as we walked through the front door. So much thought was put into this boutique and it shows. Breakfast was delicious, fresh juice, pressed coffee, fruits and the decor with beautiful views of the lake from our breakfast table. The bedroom and bathroom were a step back in time, done to perfection. My head hit the pillows and I was out like a light, peace and quiet. My wife and I went just down the street to the local pub called The Bay. What a compliment to our stay. I wish we could have stayed couple more days. Thanks again Liz.

The accommodation is superb, in a quiet residential area, yet only an easy 10 minute walk to the nearest shop and restaurant. Everything about the lodge oozes quality, from the decor to the sumptuous bedroom. Liz, the owner is lovely, and was very helpful. Our room (3) has a fantastic view of the lake with a great veranda. Breakfast was delicious, granola, fresh fruits and yoghurt in individual pots. Followed by toast, croissants, orange juice and coffee. In our room was a welcome platter, with 3 different cheese, cooked meat, hummus, various pickle, grapes and crackers. In addition there was a fruit and nut mixture, chocolate bars and water.

Belle Vue was a welcome surprise in the middle of a very busy trip. A true enchanting B&B, I regret not allowing more time there. If I ever make it to Taupo again, I would absolutely stay here and will be sending all my friends, without hesitation. The view was gorgeous, the service and amenities were extremely thoughtful. It felt like the perfect combination of staying at a luxury boutique hotel and a friend’s welcoming home. It’s been a long time since I was as enamored or excited about a property.
