Holiday rentals with lake access in Bay of Plenty

Ann's place was great and offered a beautiful location to enjoy Taupō and the surrounding region! Thanks for having us!

Sarah was a wonderful host and her place felt like home. We had everything we needed for a week in Taupo. Close to a shopping market and the walking path on the lake, the place was quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location. Great house for our two family home holiday. Stayed in April and the heating was lovely. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Plenty of private areas if you needed space. Having access to the walking track by the lake was fantastic. House is starting to need some love but still a very lovely stay.

Beautiful roomy, clean, extremely quiet place to stay with the most amazing view overlooking lake Taupo. Kaz was very responsive & helpful with ideas for local eateries. We would definitely stay again.

Fabulous family and pet stay. Great space and location for the whole family. Lovely garden and layout of communal spaces for spending time together. Thanks for having us!

We loved our stay and Gail was a great host. The property was perfect for our large group and we loved the swimming hole down by the river. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting a remote get away.

Very comfortable,felt right at home,had everything we needed,we enjoyed our stay, we would love to bring our whanau next time,enough room for all😊👍 Highly recommend 👌thank you for the written note on the bench when we arrived,it was a nice welcome.

Incredible stay, wonderful location. Aimee was a great host and would recommend her place to anyone. If we go to Taupo again I wouldn’t stay anywhere else but here. We loved it!

Absolutely perfect spot to stay for the Tarawera Ultra Trail event, could not be closer to the finish line area and in general super close to the park, playground, lake and eat street restaurants. A couple of things to note would be the noise from bars late on weekend nights. It’s not terrible but you can definitely hear it. Also the apartment had no salt, pepper, cooking oils etc those sort of helpful things for cooking your own meals, and no beach towels provided either. Just stuff to be aware of! Kristin was a very helpful and responsive host.

Lloyds place worked perfectly for us. Admittedly I was surprised when I pulled in. It’s an apartment/condo building. I read “house” and thought it would be a free standing house. But when we walked inside, it was perfect! It was clean, spacious and exactly like it was described. The location is excellent, we walked everywhere and was glad to have off-street parking. I like to cook, and it was well equipped, including sharp knives which I appreciated. The only thing missing was a dish drainer, so I purchased one, and it’s there now. The bedding was lovely and the beds were quite firm, which I like. We plan to book Lloyds place next year if it’s available.

Great view, clean place, super friendly host. Place is a bit small as expected and about 10 minutes drive from Rotorua down town. I would recommend.

Can’t recommend this accommodation more as Marki, Chris and their sweet dog Beau are the perfect hosts! Their place was beautiful with Marki even supplying the most delicious breakfast. There was nothing we could fault and would return in a heartbeat 💓

We had a great stay at Nigel and Chris’s place. Well stocked and had everything we needed. Lovely welcoming message and chocolates too!

Very comfortable accommodation in a great location- thanks Liz and Larry!

We loved our 12 day stay and didn't want to leave. Spacious rooms, high ceilings, heated bathroom floors, adequate kitchen, bifold doors opening into lovely private courtyard gardens and then there is the panoramic view of the lake. Oh and the delux spa!! What a treat. Luxurious accomodation. Value plus! We will be back.

This place was a gem! Marie and Geoff were wonderful, the home was beautiful, and we especially loved the garden and Max. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

We really enjoyed our stay. Although the living area was small, it had everything we needed. Loved the fire pit and the outdoor shower. Great to have a short walk to Lake Tarawera for some paddle boarding and enjoyed a lovely stroll around the edge of the lake. The views from the top of the section were stunning. Had a great time in the Rotorua area mountain biking and also a special treat white water rafting. Thanks Ange.

Great place to stay, and a great host who makes everything so easy. A clean tidy place which makes you feel right at home. Loads to do in the area with only short drives to Rotorua, Kawerau or Whakatane. But the absolute highlight for us was being able to relax in spa looking out over the stunning Lake Rotoma watching the sun set. Highly recommend.

The love shack is the perfect retreat. It’s truly a blend of rustic meets modern in its design. It’s perfect for a couple who want to explore the Rotorua area yet want to get away from the crowds. The birds on the lake and bird songs make for a serene experience. Unfortunately weather kept us off the kayaks but this area of the lake seems fairly protected. There is lots to do in the area if you have the time but you’re better off bringing and preparing your own dinner to take advantage of the lake!

Lovely kiwi Bach felt very relaxing Great location to walk to Okere falls store& beer garden! Enjoyed walking down through the garden to jetty for Sunset drinks & use of the kayaks to investigate the lake ! Sandy & Vernon

Lovely little place to stay with beautiful views. Sven was a fantastic host

Perfect little get away, walking distance to lake, lots of home comforts like board games, fresh coffee, good TV, speaker, comfortable outdoor furniture. Would definitely recommend

We all loved our stay, everything was as described. Juliet was an awesome host. would definitely be back.
