+The setting is absolutely stunning, peaceful, surrounded by nature and the perfect place to slow down and reset. The accommodation itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. The location is great too with easy access to nearby walks and the lake.

“Ideal location for nature lovers.”
+Nestled into native plantings with the birds (lots of Fantails!) flitting about, and perched right off the enchanting Whangamata Stream track, short easy stroll to pristine Lake Taupō.. it was an ideal location for a sisters gathering! Spotlessly clean, comfortable, minimalist luxury.. we all 4 of us loved it!.. and we are very particular.
−There is nothing to fault!

“Beautiful and comfy stay in Kinloch”
+We stayed two nights at Fantail at the end of December with our two sets of parents. The house is just soooo comfortable! The access instructions were super clear, and the house has everything you could ask for, particularly for group or family stays - a huge and well-appointed kitchen, en-suite bathrooms in each room, a big balcony, spa pool, and very large double garage that fits two cars comfortably. It’s also an easy walk from the back door down to the walking trail which takes you straight down to the lake. And it’s not just a fantail haven! We also had a beautiful Tui regularly visiting the harakeke bush hanging over the spa - the bird watches in our family were loving it!
−Nothing at all, it’s a great spot!

“Great communication & fast response, & receptive to early check in when originally made booking”
+Visiting family in Kinloch so location was perfect; beautiful house, well looked after and clean with great facilities. Was only there 1 night so did not use much of the property but if we're in Kinloch again, we'd definately try to book this ppty again. All contact from host was great - thanks for a hosting a great stay!
−Found mattress a little hard (other occupants of other beds were ok; I tend not to like really firm beds)
