Waterside Apartment

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We had a great stay at Pam’s house in Taupo. The house was the perfect setup for our family of 4 with plenty of space to holiday in comfort. The house was very modern, clean and spacious - very comfortable beds and equipped with everything you need to holiday away from home. Location was great - easy to get to and from town with just a short car trip away. From the house you can also spend time eating outside in the garden or walking down the steps to the river - great for children. Thank you for the warm welcome and having us stay. A place we will happily book again.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Gather Taupo - Lakefront Homes - Spa Pool

AngelaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Thank you, Trent, for sharing your beautiful home with our family! The house was cozy, well-appointed, and perfectly located—just a short walk to town and only steps from the lake. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially at night under the stars. Trent was incredibly responsive, and his manager, Tania, was equally wonderful. She even dropped off some games for the kids, which made for a fun and memorable family game night. We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and hospitality throughout our stay. Warm regards, Ange and Ray.
