Nice 2 Bed Rm @ 2Mile Bay Taupo
Beautiful modern and clean apartment conveniently located providing privacy and all day sun. The aircon came in handy too. Very well equipped kitchen including condiments, gladwrap etc and various cooking and serveware. Laundry facilities were also well equipped including a laundry basket, pegs and clothes line. Also included board games which the kids loved. Pool was perfect for the summer heat. Beds, blankets and pillows were very comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Tide at Gisborne Port
Great accommodation. Perfect location, close to everything. Apartment was amazing, clean and right by the port. Meet David for check in and he was great and was an easy check in process.

Vue Apartment One
Amazing place to stay, return guests! Will aim to return every month now! The location is SUPERB right in the heart of Ahuriri. Shops and restaurants and cafes at your doorstep not to mention the beautiful beach out your front door! Alannah and Nait are fantastic hosts with stellar communication and attention to detail. Thanks so much you guys!

Serene Getaway - Beach Front!
Stunning location. Stepping out onto the beach was absolutely divine Geraldine was a lovely host, responsive and helpful. Very cute location. I would love to go back. Very doable to get to Gisborne especially if you hire a car.

Absolute Lakefront - Views, Spa, Pool and Gym
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here, so much space and incredible views!! The highlight was definitely the spa looking out to the lake at night. Super convenient having our own garage too!

Waterside Apartment
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.

Seaside Sanctuary in Historic Art Deco Building
Thank you Sandhya for a wonderful stay - the extra little touches that completed the picture of a perfect BnB. We would totally book again when back in Napier and feel privileged to be able to have stayed in such a gorgeous place that was a perfect fit for Napier and all it offers.

Seaview Apartment 13

Riverside Retreat – Awahuri
Absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous view of the river. The house is one of those places that makes you feel instantly at home. Sally is an epic host, super responsive and kind.

Harris Hideaway
The house was lovely. We not had a very short stay and wish we could have stayed longer and explored.

Lake Front Luxury Taupo
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.

Stunning Lake Views & Thermal Plunge Pool
Lovely place to stay in Taupo, with beautiful views and easy access to town

Gather Taupo - Lakefront Homes - Spa Pool
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.

Charming Morere Lodge Country Cottage
Julie's place is absolutely amazing, picturesque perfection, clean, homely and my sons didn't want to come home. Thanks for such a lovely visit!

Lake Terrace Taupo
All I can say is WOW! Gorgeous location and walking distance to town. We were met at the place by Sugar "Sug", who walked us through the entire home AND gave us great ideas about eating, drinking and exercising. There was milk in the fridge and flowers on the table...it truly felt like home! Thanks to all, JT

Executive Home by The Sea, 4 Bedrooms.
Perfect place to stay for our group of 3 couples and 2 kids. Plenty of space, unbelievably well equipped kitchen (a real boon for our foodie obsessed grou!), sparkling clean, across the road from the beach, and the rooftop spa was a bonus. As was the thoughtful welcome gift of wi e and choccies. Close to Napier and the rest if the Hawkes Bay. Thank you Hayley and Robert for sharing your lovely home with us. We had a great stay.

SEAduction luxury Apartment ( 2 bed/bath)
Had a great stay at Jane’s fabulous apartment. Lovely views over the marina and decorated beautifully. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Would highly recommend!!

Oceanside Escape
We really enjoyed our stay at this cute little 2 bedroom apartment on Marine Parade, straight across the road from the beach and coastal walkway/cycle way. With a great view from the covered in balcony, we spent a lot of our time sitting there looking out at the world going by. With everything there that you need and so close to town, shops and restaurants it made for a beautiful relaxing time away. Would highly recommend, perfect for couples and small families.

Two Views - Apartment on the River. Walk to town
Lovely stay thank you. The view was so relaxing. We will stay again.

Waimahana 11 Lakeside Penthouse Apartment.
Really wonderful place to stay in. The only problem was the ensuite did have a door for privacy. Great location. Great host.
