The lodge has a feeling more like a staying in a private home. Our room was very spacious with a great lake view. Gary and his wife make your stay very special. They have an excellent knowledge of the area and provided recomendations for day trips. The grounds a fabulous with many species of exotic plantings. The whole experience was world class. ##### David ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay Thus is a great B&B, the lodges are very quiet and there is a lovely view of the Lake and mountains behind. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan, Scotland 4 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely, privately owned boutique Lodge Overall experience was a calming, relaxing experience in beautiful surroundings being cared for by kind, considerate owners and staff. ##### Jan ### 8/10 Good #### Sam, New Zealand 12 Jun 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice upmarket Motel Has awesome views of the lake. I would however say that it is a bit over priced for what you get. I dont consider this a hotel, it is more of an upmarket motel. ##### Sam ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey, Australia 12 Feb 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A lodge to remember! This was an excellent lodge - comfortable, clean, fabulous food and excellent service. Set in a beautiful garden overlooking the lake it was truly a lovely get away! Looking forward to returning. ##### Tracey ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2014 #### Pricey for what you get This is more of a bed and breakfast. Not a lodge and it is in a private house with the owners living on the floor below the main floor. Helpful hosts but was surprised of the feel of this place because it is someones house. We felt that it lacked privacy. Nice views, dated interior, and about a 5-10 minute drive outside the main town of Taupo. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juanita, Sydney 14 Jun 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Elegant Lodge with views of the Lake. In the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, this lodge, set in a beautiful garden, has a wonderful ambience with stunning views over the Lake Taupo. The accommodation is state of the art with underfloor heating, gas fire and modern facilities. The owners and staff went out of their way to look after our every need and advise us as to the sights to be visited in the area. The breakfast was one of the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. The choice was huge and outstanding using only the freshest and best ingredients. The muesli was homemade and an absolute standout ,the croissants imported from France, and the coffee was excellent. There was chopped fruit, yoghurt and about eight choices for a hot gourmet breakfast, not usually found in the best hotels. ##### Juanita ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter, Australia - VIC - Melbourne 27 Apr 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Top of the line, State of the art; Service: Remarkable, Go the extra mile, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Spotless, Beautiful; Breakfasts were delightful ##### Peter ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah 27 Nov 2025 ##### Hannah Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Streatham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Streatham-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6144906-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Gurudwara Bangla Sahib](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gurudwara-Bangla-Sahib-Hotels.0-l6212295-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Heartland Ambassador Hotel Hamilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Heartland-Ambassador-Hotel-Hamilton.h519212.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Koh Tao](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Koh-Tao-Hotels.s50-0-d6034053.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Granada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Granada-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d1384-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Pen y Fan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pen-Y-Fan-Hotels.0-l553248621532490423-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [accorhotels Hotels in Minsk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minsk-Hotels-Accor-Hotels.0-0-d2427--bAccorHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Europe-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6022967-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Golf Hotels in Monaghan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaghan-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d55371-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Callow End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Callow-End-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d3000458560-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Evenes (EVE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/eve/london-to-evenes) > > [Flights from Erfurt (ERF) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/erf/lhr/erfurt-to-london) > > [Flights from harstad narvik airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/eve/flights-from-harstad-narvik-airport) > > [Flights from El Prat de Llobregat (BCN) to Biarritz (BIQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bcn/biq/barcelona-to-biarritz) > > [Flights from Fagurholsmyri (FAG) to London (LON-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fag/lon/fagurholsmyri-to-london) ### Cars ### Packages > [Caliceo Aquatic Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caliceo-Aquatic-Center-Bordeaux-Lac.d553248621557915379.Attraction) > > [Hagley Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hagley-Road-Edgbaston.d6258724.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Edegem Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edegem-Holiday-Rentals.d602679.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Fort McMurray](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-McMurray.dx4001) > > [Visit Gothen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gothen.dx553248635149840956) > > [Visit St. Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews.dx6023729) > > [Visit Cumbria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumbria.dx6046194) > > [Visit Caio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caio.dx3000012083) ---
