Cottage over the Lake
Lovely accommodation with fantastic views. We met Michelle briefly and are thrilled with the hospitality. Thanks for cereals, bacon, eggs, chocolate etc! We really enjoyed the view of the lake and were extremely satisfied! Fresh flowers were everywhere, really very lovingly prepared. The terrace was a dream ! Love, Rebekka and Berni

Kinloch Edge of the Lake..Location Plus
We really loved our stay. Duncan was amazing, from perfect communication, very friendly and helpful. The house was exactly as it was advertised. too be honest, better. It's amazing. Location was perfect, walked across the lawn and straight into the lake. Right next door to the marina, so easy to launch the boat. I will 100% be going back.

Lakeside Delight with Mountain Views
Rhys home was perfect 👌 beautiful views so spacious and private had all we needed Rhy was also very accommodating offering early check in if needed .. the home is like 2 homes in one great for a big family .. but was perfect for the 2 of us as well highly recommended.. views of the lake were stunning and the lake is only a 1 minute walk

Taupo luxury original fishermen’s cottage
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The house is spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, offering everything we needed. The location is perfect too, it nestled in a quiet area, yet just a short drive from town. One of the highlights is the stunning outdoor deck overlooking the river. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening with the peaceful sound of the water. The interior is cosy yet modern, and the kitchen is fully equipped, the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Just few steps across the road and you will be right at the Lake, great area for fishing. This place is a gem. Highly recommended!

Two Mile Retro Retreat - pet friendly
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 😀

The Pipi Pad - upgraded with spa pool & EV charger
The Pipi Pad was outstanding in every way. Well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms giving 3 couples plenty of room whilst staying. Tastefully decorated with extremely comfortable beds and gorgeous linen. Heaps on offer to to while staying there, ie books, games, ping pong, bikes and spa pool. Lovely touch by leaving fresh milk for us and allowing us to use things from the pantry and fridge. Jeremy’s communication was fabulous - we had no problem finding the Pipi Pad and getting in was easy. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Taupo.

The Kinloch Retreat
We just had the most restful 10 days The house has an amazing view of the lake it’s peaceful and is equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The house is very warm and very modern. It is as advertised. We were only 20 minutes from Taupo so when we wanted a bit more action we were not far away. A great stay. We would definitely stay again.

Bach on the Bay- location, views, character, charm
Belinda’s home was absolutely lovely. We are a family and loved our stay at the bach. We enjoyed coffee on the deck, wine by the fire. Very comfy beds too. The kids loved the games in the cupboard and the gardens outside. We would stay again and highly recommend.

Happiness is Huia a block from the lake - Summer?
Our stay was perfect. We were delighted to be able to stay at short notice for 2 nights after our booked accommodation wasn’t up to standard when we arrived in Taupo. The communication was great. The house was as described, spotless and fully equipped kitchen. Short walk down to the lake. Thank you we would stay again

Charming original Kiwi Bach
Loved the homeliness of this place, was comfortable and cosy. Particularly loved the environment, quiet and peaceful and close to the lake and river walks.

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

holiday haven.
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.
Private lake house rentals

Beauty at the Lake - no booking fees!
A very well set out property with lots of room for our travelling group. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen and super friendly and helpful hosts. We would happily stay again, thanks.

A tranquil lake retreat for all seasons
A perfect home away from home, great base to get out and about, 30 mins to Taupō and Turangi 10 mins. House was clean, cosy and comfortable. Kitchen well equipped, we loved the BBQ, deck area and watched the DVDs. The ants mentioned weren’t an issue for us at all. Yes internet is patchy but there’s enough to get by on for the basics. We’ll definitely return!

New Lake House in Kinloch
We booked Katrina's place for the Ironman in Taupo and it was amazing! The location was quiet, beautiful, and only 20 minutes from Taupo. It was walkable to a swimming area on the lake and to beautiful trails for running and biking. The house was immaculate and perfectly equipped for a week-long stay. My family and I were so comfortable here, I enjoyed it so much.

Lakeside Estate Top Location with Stunning views!
It was our second time staying at this property and we absolutely loved it! Great for families, with a beautiful view. Can’t wait for our next visit. Thanks! :)

Close to Lake with Wi-Fi
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay though the downstairs amenities were a challenge as poor water pressure and dim lighting in shower were a problem .

Lake Getaway
Nic’s place is fabulous. It’s clean, spacious, comfy, in a good location and has everything you’d need for a great getaway with friends and/or family. Nic herself is amazing - a breeze to deal with, very responsive & thoughtful. The personalised message upon arrival wishing my dad & I a Happy Birthday was such a lovely touch. Highly recommend.

Lake Cottage, Your Relaxing Lake Escape
Exactly as described. Clean and tidy, beautiful views. Lovely to be able to bring our dog. Thanks again for a fantastic stay.

Tranquil Kinloch Hillside Escape
Absolutely gorgeous home in a magical location, Ryan and Gina are great hosts! Would definitely stay again
