Lakefront Haven at Waitahanui
Lovely spot , great location with access to the lake, river walk, and easy drive 5 minute drive into Taupo. Well fenced for children and outside bath was a treat. Will be back again next time we visit Taupo

Lake Escape
Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

Lakeside Landing
Beautiful place , definitely enjoyed our stay . Catered to everyone’s needs . Communication was amazing even though it was a weekend thanks to Kristin and team . Most definitely recommend booking and looking forward to our next booking cheers

New Lake House in Kinloch
We booked Katrina's place for the Ironman in Taupo and it was amazing! The location was quiet, beautiful, and only 20 minutes from Taupo. It was walkable to a swimming area on the lake and to beautiful trails for running and biking. The house was immaculate and perfectly equipped for a week-long stay. My family and I were so comfortable here, I enjoyed it so much.

Lakeview Bliss - Acacia Bay - Stunning view
The house is in a great location and the rooms are spacious enough. You can see Taupo Lake from the living room. The only minor drawback is that the towels provided in the bathroom are not clean enough. Some turn yellow, while others are covered in dust. But our family still likes it very much and we live happily.

Prime positioned Lake House in Stunning Lake Hawea
Thanks Amanda. We had a fabulous break at your lovely home in Lake Hawea. The lake was breathtaking, we had a brilliant outdoor time on bikes and walks and we loved our meals at the Lake Hawea hotel.

This is an awesome home. Well furnished and the kitchen has every item you need to cook up a feast. Very spacious and the swim in the river was great. We will be back one day.

Genuine Lakeside 1 Bedroom Suite "Lakeside Gem"
Lovely stay, clean and exactly as described with stunning views!

Luxury 1BR Apartment right by the Lake.
Enjoyed our stay at Joerg's apartment. Had everything we needed, comfortable, well equipped, clean and tidy. Good security and parking. 5 min drive to shopping centre and 10 min to Queenstown. Lovely to sit on balcony or even in lounge and on the bed and watch sunrises, see boats on water and have an unobstructed view of Lake Whakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range.

Love the location and the apartment ! Dishwasher and Nespresso machine came in handy !!

Rotorua Lakefront Cottage
Rob’s place is wonderful. This was the best place we stayed during our time in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The home is lakefront. It’s so peaceful at all hours of the day, though the morning is stunning. Rob greeted us on arrival & made sure we knew the ins/outs of his home. The rooms are spacious, super clean, and beds were perfect (I slept very well). There are kayaks available if you want to get out on the lake. Kitchen is stocked with supplies. There was an abundance of supplies: towels/blankets/robes. The washer/dryer availability was much appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic stay & I wish we had more time in the area to enjoy the property fully. Rob is great & I hope to be back again/will stay here.

Snowshoe Cottage
This house is so much better than the photos. Amazing views all over. A quiet and peaceful place to stay away from the tourist crowds. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet place in nature.

" The Cottage - Comfortable and Private "
Judith's place was lovely and modern. Met her when we arrived and left. A good array of places down by the lake. I would recommend her place to my friends. She basically has everything there people will need.

The Love Shack Lake Rotoiti. Absolute Lake Edge.
perfect hideaway. When I lost my phone Florence helped us by calling around. always responded fast and friendly. The love shack is fantastic. quiet, secluded, peaceful, beautifull views..

THE LAKE HOUSE - Private with jetty and boat shed
Gorgeous little place to stay in an idyllic location. We used the jetty for our boat which was so convenient, dinner and brunch at the Okere Falls store (delicious food) and slept very well in the comfy bed. We hope to be back!

Cosy Cottage Overlooking Lake Pukaki
Beautiful lakefront cottage with incredible views and a quiet and private location. This home is older but clean and well-maintained. There is no central heat or AC but the space heaters were effective. The host provided lots of information about activities. The house is located about 35-45 minutes to Mount Cook National Park and Lake Tekapo, 7 minutes from Lake Pukaki retreat (stargazing) and 15-20 minutes from Twizel with shopping and restaurants. The house was larger than expected with 4 twin and 1 larger (queen or king?) bed. Checkin was easy, kitchen was well-equipped and our stay was great.

Lotus Cottage, Matakana
Gorgeous. Peaceful. Unique. Christine was a delight to liase with. Went the extra mile.

★★★ Black Lake Cottage ★★★
I just had the best stay ever. The house was so amazing that I decided to extend my stay. I really loved the fishing related peace’s all over the house. Furthermore, lake Taupo is really close by.
