Vacation rentals with lake access in Hawke's Bay Region

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.

really good value, typical kiwi bach from the 1970s. had everything you needed including a very well kitted out kitchen with a full size fridge freezer. the pictures accurately described the place. we loved the Woodburner. our dogs loved playing outside. great for big family trips as loads of space. thanks Jacqui 😀

Was a comfortable stay with everything we needed. Exactly as described as an older style of property with furnishing that matched. Nice bedding and a good night sleep. Great location to the town and lake.

Kelly was awesome to deal with. Very flexible and made everything we needed as easy as pie. Place was awesome and suited us perfectly. Clean as place and easy parking. Lots of room for everyone and modern. Would stay again in a heart beat.

This was a very nice and clean place to stay, with easy instructions on how to get in and where to park. The house was in a nice quiet and more private area with only a short drive to the city centre which was really good. Overall I highly recommend this place as it’s definitely worth the money :)

Very comfortable and beautiful home in a safe spot close to town. Had everything I need for a very comfortable stay.

We loved this place. Great living area for socialising, well equipped kitchen, showers had awesome water pressure, several lovely areas to sit outdoors. Perfect for our family get together with some of us staying onsite and others in the town centre. And later some items we'd left behind were returned to us which we were grateful for.

Easy to deal with - great communication. Would recommend staying at Jeanette’s place :)

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.

what a pleasant stay, surely will back again to Lloyd's place when I'm coming to taupo.

Great place to stay very accessible for the walking and riding around the lakefront. Also walkable to the shops.

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.

Lovely location overlooking Lake Taupo and into the sunset. Spacious deck to relax, eat and enjoy the view. Helpful responsive host. Very clean and well equipped living areas. Lovely Millennium Hotel restaurant right across the street. Great location for a relaxing break.

We had a lovely stay! Beautiful location, walking distance to town. Hot pool is a bonus! Exceptional facilities, would highly recommend! We will be back again.

Absolutely gorgeous spot. Love the thermal pool, lovely amenities and excellent comms from host. Would love to stay again, and more than likely will.

lovely stay. thanks very much

Kirsty is absolutely awesome! Her communication was excellent, and everything about the stay exceeded my expectations. I’m honestly a bit jealous and almost don’t want to share this gem of a location because it’s so perfect—I’m afraid too many people will discover it and ruin the peaceful vibe! I had an amazing 5 days here. The cottage is incredibly peaceful, right next to the lake, with reliable internet and no phone signal distractions. If you’re looking to write a book, set goals, do research, or just recharge, this is hands down the best place ever. I’m definitely coming back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location, walking distance to lake front. We loved the bach feel and admired the decor - ample books, DVDs and family board games to keep you entertained, and a classic table tennis table! Clean, tidy home to enjoy.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful, cosy place. Comfortable bed. Nice shower with good water pressure. Quiet surroundings. Alexandra generously provided lots of complimentary food like snacks, fruit, milk, breakfast cereal etc as well as tea and coffee. Even comfy bath robes were provided. It felt like luxury but at an affordable price!

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

Great place to stay right by the lake. Easy to get to Taupo from the house.
