This home is quite simply amazing. It’s a highly memorable experience to stay here. The house is very stylish with everything you need. There is a really great fireplace, plenty of heaters, a well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. There is plenty of outdoor furniture on the wrap-around deck to enjoy all-day sun.
The house is built on poles on the side of a hill and completely surrounded by native bush, which is home to many many native birds. It’s like a tree-house. You can sit on the deck and watch them fly by close enough to touch. There are many species but most notable are the abundant healthy happy Tuis.
The views of Lake Taupo are amazing, expansive and ever changing. The home faces east and is perfectly positioned to view absolutely incredible sunrises. We also watched the full moon rise through the clouds and over the lake. It was magical!
Communication with Janine was excellent before and throughout our stay. She was super-helpful with local suggestions and getting information for us during a local power-cut. Although the home is tucked away in the bush we found it easily and finding keys and gaining access was also very easy.
All in all, we highly recommend Janine’s place. Even if it stretches your budget a bit you will not regret it. Staying here is an experience you will not soon forget.
Thank you Janine - we really enjoyed our stay :)
