I loved this apartment, it was probably the best stay during our whole NZ trip. The apartment was spacious, clean, well-designed and thought-through. Also, I loved our big balcony facing the forest. The a la carte breakfast was super tasty. 10 out of 10!

Really nice motel across the street from the lake and easy walking distance to restaurants. We only used the kitchen space at breakfast, it seemed well equipped.

Fresh milk and coffee making supplies were provided in the room. The private geothermal plunge pool was a unique and relaxing experience. The guest laundry facilities were convenient and clean. The location made it easy to walk along the shores of Lake Taupō.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary accommodation, however when you get inside your room, you are surprised by the setup, presentation and the cleanliness of the place. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom is great. Good water flow. It won't disappoint you. Very good amenities and very impressed with the high quality of milk provided.

We stayed at Crinkly Cottage for one night after visiting the Glowworm Caves and absolutely loved our stay! The cottage is super cozy and had everything we could have wished for - including a lovely breakfast with wonderful homemade products :) Paula and everyone else were lovely and made us feel so welcome. We also loved meeting all the animals and spent a whole afternoon on the veranda, relaxing in the sun and watching the cows.

Our family of 7 adults, 4 kids and 3 dogs enjoyed our weekend stay at this property. Great location in central Taupo with views of the lake. Spacious home for lots of guests - plenty of space for people to have their own privacy and to gather together communally. Loved the leisure facilities - dart board and table tennis table. Garage was generally a good space for children to play, especially in winter. Lots of good quality facilities - e.g. comfy beds, quality linen, heating, soaps. Ability for pets to stay a real winner.

Loved our family suite. It had everything we needed & so much space for my 2 kids. Beds were so comfortable, I literally slept like a baby. Great location away from the city life.
