Kelly’s travels
Were welcomed by Robyn and shown our room and all about our stay. Then sent out on back deck and were greeted with spectactacular garden and lake views. Back deck a great pace to sit and enjoy Taupo and the lake. Robyn made sure we had everything we needed down to cushions for chairs and rugs to keep us warm. Next morning she made us a wonderful cooked breakfast and fresh fruit and yoghurt. A wonderful relaxing stay

You cannot deny the view. Pleasant room with a turn down service (was a surprise to see the mints after being out for dinner). Hostess is full of knowledge and happy to talk about local attractions/ food opportunities. Note: No TV in room for the night owls after partners go to sleep, so keep that phone charged.

First rate B&B
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay at this B&B. In keeper Robin is a wonderful hostess. The accommodations are tasteful and impeccably clean with a number of well thought out touches that many in-keepers do not consider such as robes, fridge, kettle. The bed was very comfortable which we consider a very important consideration. Throughout our many world wide travels we have found saggy mattresses, lumpy pillows and shabby bed linens are more the norm than the exception therefore it was a real treat to enjoy an above average bed experience. The B&B is located in a very quiet, residential area with an amazing view of lake Talpo. The large decks set in a pretty garden provide a wonderful place to relax while taking in the panoramic view. Robin provides an outstanding breakfast. We would like to point out to guests that the town is about a 10 minute drive from the B&B. There are a number of places to dine in town. However we found the B&B so inviting that we enjoyed many quiet hours on the decks and would like to suggest that guests who want to luxuriate on the deck pick up some food and beverages. As a side note, the star gazing is magnificent.

Very nice place
Very beautiful location. Host very welcoming and helpful. Excellent breakfast. The rooms are lacking of a place to put the luggage, we had to use the floor. Getting out of the parking could also be a problem if other cars are parked. The view are great and everything is impeccable
