“Lovely views but the facilities need a bit of improvement”
+The views are absolutely lovely and the balcony is great. There is plenty of room for everyone with comfortable sofas and a good size kitchen with a great fridge.
−There were 10 of us staying in the house, 6 adults and 4 children but there weren't enough chairs for us all to sit comfortably around the dining table. We also did not have enough spoons, bowls for everyone. Many of the plates, cups were chipped. We had 5 bedrooms but only two heaters so the adults did not have any heating, as we stayed in the middle of winter this was an issue. Neither of the heated towel rails in the two bathrooms worked. One bedroom had no storage at all; another one had a broken handle on the closet so we couldn't use it. The lock on the ranch slider to the balcony was broken so it was very difficult to lock which was a security issue as the young children were able to get on to the balcony easily. The lock on the back door, by the children's bedrooms, didn't work too well and we found the door open during the first evening. We secured it with a couple of stools during our stay.

“Amazing views over Lake Taupo so”
+The view is what is the star of this property. Enjoyed watching the sun rise over the lake.
−The driveway was steep and when damp had difficulty driving our large van up & down so needed to park on the street and carefully walk down.

+The place is stunning with views to die for. Beds are comfortable, lovely warm place, heaters in all the rooms. Will definitely be back.
−There was just a couple of things that we would suggest. There was only 3 rolls of toilet paper, we were happy to buy our own but would of expected a few more left for us. Only 1 teatowel. The salt was nearly empty. Would of been good to have some glad wrap or tinfoil for food. These are only very minor things but thought we would let you know.

“The best views”
+Amazing views from the kitchen / dining area / lounge!
−The downstairs rooms are very cold so an extra heater and blankets would've been great to have. Apparently there are some coming which was good to hear.

+The views were absolutely stunning. Comfy bed. The space in the home was perfect for our group. We loved it. The driveway was a bit tight and steep. Fine for small cars not so much a big beast. But otherwise it was perfect. We would most definitely stay again if we came back this way
−A few extra towels would have been great. And a couple more tea towels. Otherwise we were very happy 😁
