We were pleasantly surprised by the unique and amazing interior design — it exceeded our expectations. The place is well-maintained, and the host was very responsive to our needs. We also appreciated the complimentary food and drinks, which added a thoughtful touch. Plus, the games provided were a fun bonus that we truly enjoyed.

I like the little additions that make the house more like home. We cooked a better meal because of the spices and sauces available. We loved the paper maps on the coffee table. Relaxed outside as there is outdoor furniture and enjoyed watching the birds fly away with fallen plums. We had a very relaxing stay as everything was well organised. My husband adds that there are lots of electrical wall sockets.

    I loved the feeling of cottage mews, it wasn't a sterile motel room, it was cozy and homely. It was also spotlessly clean and the room was a great size. The bath was great with plenty of hot water. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in Taupo we really enjoyed our stay.
