We had a lovely time staying at Cottage Lane for two nights. The unit was just as described: clean, cozy and with all the amenities described. We had no problem finding the unit, and thankfully it is conveniently close to many restaurants and shops nearby Lake Taupo.
Meeting Lesley was itself one of our highlights while in Taupo, as she was kind and gracious to us throughout our stay. She gave awesome advice for things to do in the area, and is well-traveled herself and knows how to make other travelers feel at home. I felt a little bad cuz I accidentally ran into a branch from one of her bushes while backing out of the carpark area, but she was quick to forgive me despite my willingness to compensate for it (sorry again Lesley)!
We highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the Taupo area, particularly for its prime location, fantastic accommodation, but also because Lesley is awesome! Thanks again for letting us stay!
