Staying at Jos & Murray’s lodge was our best AirBnB experience so far!! After a warm welcome we enjoyed Jos her lovely fresh baked muffins. The lodge is very comfortable and clean (very good and large bed, well equiped kitchen with all kinds of nice supplies like fresh fruit, yoghurt, milk, bread, cereals etcetera)! Its really a beautiful location!
The lodge provides you a lot of privacy with your own small terrace. From the lodge you got your own lake view and it only takes you about 1 minute to walk down the lake and make a fresh dive. From the location it only takes you 5-10 min walk along lake Taupo to a marina with a general store offering all kinds of comfortfood like fish n chips and very good pizza’s. Also a nice restaurant is located over there. From the lodge there are also starting some worthwhile hiking and mountainbike trials.
Jos & Murray were very friendly and hospitable. They provided us with all kinds of recommandations for local activities. It was even possible to use their canoes and bikes. A big surprise was an invite to join Murray for a fishing trip in the early morning.
So overall we would really recommend a stay at Jos & Murray’s lodge in Kinloch. We wished we could stay longer!
