Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul D. 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and views This is our 2nd stay at this Bach.The location and views are incredible. The size of the property makes it an ideal family hangout with lots of space for the kids to socialise away from the adults.Since our last stay a couple of years ago, the place is starting to look a bit worn and needs a refresh. The spa pool didn't seem to heat properly, the towel rails didn't work, the shower curtain kept falling off the hook and the internet was very intermittent with the connection to the TV. Overall, great place for a family stay but needs some love to bring it back to a higher standard. ##### Paul D. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janelle W. 4 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant stay Convenient distance from town centre, although there were quite a lot of rules. (No use of the spa pool after 9pm, position of where kitchen utensils needed to be returned to.) We couldn't get the TV to work and the Foosball game apparently didn't work, but the spacious living area was good for a large family. ##### Janelle W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bridget C. 23 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely house with lovely view We enjoyed staying here and it was well equipped with everything you need. Very clean and love the playroom in garage. Handy for kids to have their own space especially on wet days. Only negative was not being allowed in the spa after 9pm (although equally I can understand why with certain groups that could be noisy). When your out all day by the time you cook dinner and clean up and see to the kids the window has passed to enjoy a soak. Other than that we loved the house and would stay again . ##### Bridget C.

The house had everything we needed for our family stay. Our family particulrarly enjoyed the set up with the kids area in the garage and also the amazing spa pool. We will return to stay there the next time we are planning a visit to Taupo. ##### Paul D.

A bit disappointed on how dirty the spa was - we could see dirt floating. It’s one of the reasons I picked this house - wanted to soak in the spa! But that only happened on the first night as wouldn’t get back in knowing how dirty it was. Also found a used plaster on the bathroom floor on arrival. Understand it was a busy week and cleaning might have been rushed but maybe consider moving check in time a bit later on busy weeks ##### Natasha d.

However, their is no spa at the property(the entire reason we had booked for this trip). The 5min walk to town was not an appropriate estimate as it would take at least half an hour and not an easy walk at that. Lightbulbs above the ensuite and main bthrm mirrors did not work.. We phd the number given and was told the spa hadnt arrived. Asked for a discount but we were refused. only 2 makeup cloths for 8 ladies. Totally gorgeous homethough, was unfortunately let down ##### Melissa J.
