Peaceful Perfection
We loved our stay at Ashley’s lovely home and gardens overlooking Lake Taupo and the mountains. It was peaceful and perfect. This spacious home is close enough to town thoroughly enjoy it and far enough away to rest and relax.

Peaceful spot with beautiful views
We loved the peacefulness of the place and there were several spots to gather and talk, depending on the weather and the sun, which was great. I hadn't quite realised when I booked that the property manager actually lives in the house normally. There was a lot of food in the fridge and only 2 small shelves cleared for our use (5 adults). We had to rearrange the fridge and put a lot of food into the freezer to clear space. A 5th bed was made available but only had a bottom sheet on so we had to go looking for top sheet/duvet and a pillow and pillow case (found a duvet and pillow but no sheet or pillow case) The other beds were fine. However we had an enjoyable stay, thank you
