Relaxed stay in Taupo
Loved the quiet and secluded courtyard with the view of the lake while also being sheltered from the wind. Safe for our little dog to have a wander as well. Location was great with a short drive into Taupo town. Bed was very clean and comfortable and we slept very well during our stay. We would happily stay agin!

lovely lazy stay
Just what we need for a 5 day break in Taupo. Very quiet, comfortable and a lovely part view of the lake. A short walk to the lake shore which connects to a walkway around some of the bays and if you turn right and walk for 30 minutes it takes you to mini golf, slightly further to the main Taupo shopping and restaurant hub Such a gorgeous walk. A short drive to De Bretts thermal pools. A great place for the 3 of us.

Great value tidy apartment
Great little place for dad or mum with the two kids. Very tidy and all the things you need. If you're going to Taupo with the kids (especially if it rains) I recommend the AC Baths, life saver on a rainy day with a 5 and 7yo in tow. Thanks for a great stay Jeremy. (Hot tip - leave your car out front as Jeremy says - it's not easy getting out.)

Mini getaway perfection
First of all thank you to Jeremy your a wonderful host and it was a pleasure meeting! The little place had everything we needed (Mum dad 1 child and 1 small/med dog) comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and a great shower plus an extra bonus we could take Roxy (our dog) Taupo is very dog friendly! Location was great too. Highly recommend 2 miles sailing club and Ernerst Kemp charter boat (Both dog friendly as well!) We will definitely be back to stay!

Great getaway
Great little getaway with a nice tidy unit and Jeremy was a friendly host. Would happily stay again. Note driveway access is more suited to walking rather than driving unless you have a very small car. Parking out the front was fine though.

Home away from home
Jeremy was friendly and helpful since before my wife and I arrived at his home. We emailed back and forth several times before our flights and he was all too happy to answer our questions. When we arrived he welcomed us and showed us to where we were staying. The apartment is well looked after and private. It was exactly as described and always a welcomed resting place to return to at the end of the day. Like myself Jeremy loves meeting new people and learning about them. If you can spare the time in your journey Jeremy is an excellent conversationalist. I entourage you to take the opportunity the learn and share your stories with him, he is a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for the perfect stay while visiting Taupō this is it, your home away from home.

Great place for some quiet time out near the Lake
Quiet Unit at the rear of the main property. The owner kindly sorted out the authentic coffee maker with a coffee grinder for us. We loved the proximity to the lake and tracks. Great bed and I would gladly stay there again! Gets great sun in the afternoon!
