Happy Customers

Great Lake Stays were fantastic. The house we booked was amazing! Exceeded expectations. House was spotlessly clean, linen was perfect and Vicky was so great to deal with. Super responsive and helpful.

We had a a very comfortable stay at 14 Rainboow Drive. The house was immaculately clean and fresh. The furniture, beds and linen were all excellent and very comfortable. The house is walking distance to the lake and a short drive to the heart of Taupo. Highly recommend this accomodation and the operator Vicky !!

A beautiful spot with stunning views of Lake Taupō. The location was perfect for relaxing, offering breathtaking panoramas of the lake right from the property. The house was clean, comfortable , and well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Vicky (host) was so friendly and responsive throughout the stay, highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

We stayed in Te Heuheu street and were very happy with our accomodation. The house was away from the main road but very close to town and the lake front (5mins if that!). We had everything you would need in a home away from home including outdoor space. The rooms were clean and tidy, linen was crisp and fresh and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, cups, pots etc and loads of offstreet parking. Vicky was extremely lovely and so easy to deal with. Highly recommend this place for a family who wants space!

We were blown away with our stay in Taupo. The Tranquil Retreat accommodation had wow factor. The art work, the colour, the relaxing chairs, the view, the homely feeling, had my wife saying "I want to live here". It had everything and more. I'm so glad we chose this place for our 10 day holiday.

Pleasant stay at this house. Full
Of character, spacious and had everything we needed. Only a couple minutes drive away from Kinloch Beach, could honestly just walk there! Had a beautiful 6am swim there (summertime) and it all to ourselves. Handy to Taupō and all it has to offer as well. Kinloch is nice quiet retreat from all summer commotion though. Thanks for letting us stay!

We loved our stay, close to the boat ramp and lake. House had anything we needed. Enjoyed the evening walks around the lake

I can give 4.5 stars.
Everything was good excepting entering the access road for the house.
Thank you for offering the clean and beautiful house.

Lovely large space. Enough areas so we could enjoy time together as a group or have quiet alone time. Great location, close to lake and shops. Host was quick to reply when I had a question during our stay. To make the stay more comfortable, bedside table lamps and small bins in room or toilets would be an added bonus. Thank you for hosting us.

Lovely old house with wood throughout. Amazing sunset views! Very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Access to storage shed - perfect for our bikes. Great location for town & the lake. I hadn't checked or received access code so had a little trouble on arrival but easy to access hosts number online & she was readily available & resolved quickly.

46 Mahuta in Taupo is a fantastic place to stay. The hosts are super helpful and gracious. Views were second to none.

Our family (7 adults, 1 toddler and 1 baby) had a great stay at “Henry’s Bach” for our family Christmas. Centrally located and well equipped for all needs. There’s a nice playground just around the corner (short walk) and it would be easy enough to walk to the lake too. The house had plenty of space and the section was private. The driveway is steep-ish and has room for parking 2-3 cars, or there’s easy parking on the roadside which was fine too.

Perfect house for our family holiday . Lovely and clean, close to the lake and town. Grass area for kids to play. Everything we needed re: kitchen and laundry facilities . Would definitely stay again 😃

We had such a fantastic stay at Marvel In Motuoapa! The property is so well equipped, clean and cosy with comfortable beds, great facilities close to parks, a tennis court and lovely walks nearby. Highly recommend for your next family vacation 5*****

We stayed in Taupo for 3 nights at a great little spot called 'Home Sweet Home' Our 2 teenage children had a room each, plus a 3rd room for us. The house was fresh and clean with new appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. Endless hot water for showers was a treat. The heatpump and plug in heater for the bedrooms, kept us very warm (considering it is July!) The location was excellent, 2 minutes drive from Spa Road where we were able to exercise our dogs every morning. (dogs are by arrangement I believe) The fully fenced section a real bonus. Location A+ ... minutes drive to town, bungee, restaurants. We will definitely book here again - we did not want for a thing. Heidi + Scotty
