Excellent location and facilities, clean and comfortable. Suited more for 3 couples rather than four.
We loved the location and the view and the house was very well appointed. Some lights didn’t work.
The upstairs situation wasn’t ideal. The landing space wasn’t really a bedroom and had to be used as a thoroughfare by the other two rooms to use the bathroom. This was stated in the property information but should have been more prominent. House is suited to 6-7 guests not 8.

Long Weekend in Taupo
The view is excellent - just across the road from Lake Taupo
The bedroom on the landing - no privacy for the occupant

Great location but many many issues
Great location. Views of the lake and only a short walk to town. Beds are comfortable.
The property is split over 3 levels. When we arrived we discovered the entire lower level containing the master suite (large bedroom and ensuite) and the garage had no power - no lights, no AC, no working powerpoints. And thus the nightmare began. I immediately reported the issue and it took them 4 days to resolve. During this time we had to leave the keys in the lockbox every time we left the property so that random contractors could come into the property (didn't feel very safe).
Other issues we experienced:
* The tumble dryer didn't work. We discovered this on a rainy day when we decided we would do laundry instead of venturing outside. Again, I immediately reported the issue but it was not resolved before we left. We were wanting to do the hot pools on our last day in Taupo but were unable to because we had no way of drying our clothes before having to pack to leave early the next morning.
* The windowsills were full of bugs and there were marks on the walls which made it feel dirty. Also, ants!
* The upstairs bathroom shower doesn't drain properly leaving you standing in ankle deep water and having to keep your shower very short for fear of flooding the bathroom. Also, the drain cover is broken and floats away and the inside of the drain pops out which is gross.
* Several lights didn't work.
* TV in the master bedroom downstairs didn't work (even after power was restored)
I spent so much of my time during my holiday (and after arriving home) trying to deal with these issues and monitoring my phone for their response. After my almost daily nagging for 2 weeks, they finally offered a pathetic $100 compensation for all our inconvenience. We paid over $3000 to stay for 1 week - a third of the house had no power for half our stay, not to mention all the other issues, and that is their idea of fair compensation. I am quite angry and still seeking an acceptable resolution.

Disappointing
Locality with exceptional views of the Lake.
Cleanliness of the place left a lot to be desired.
The kitchen was definitely not maintained prior to new clients arriving very disappointed as I'm sure I was charged a cleaning fee??
We had to dishwash items before use,
Coffee machine had pods still left in basket.
Laundry machine we couldn't get water to fill the bowl. Taps didn't allow this to happen??
Clothes were left in clothes basket from previous clients and also in the dryer, clearly not belonging to us.
We were staying here because of locality due to a family situation we were over for but have to say that for the amount charged for our 2 week stay, I was not very impressed.
I also think they should be transparent regarding neighbours and the housing situation as parties, loud talking, cars coming and going, sensor lights continually going on and off all night, banging noises coming from main front bedroom roof when we experienced strong winds didn't make for as special a time as we'd all hoped for.
My advice check reviews before booking.... this is if my review doesn't get deleated beforehand.

The view of the lake was excellent. The lake was just across the road from the house.
Very few amenities like sponges, hand soap for the kitchen were provided. Basement room smelled very musty.
Could not use the garage as the door was not working so parking 2 card was somewhat inconvenient
