Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Waikato River

Garys place is in a beautiful location and has wonderful views of the lake, the jetty and lake access was a real bonus. The bedroom and bathrooms set up were perfect and decorated really nicely, good wifi if you want it too and walkable to the main jetty area and town. thank you also for allowing us to bring our little dogs, it made for a wonderful holiday.

A great location & a stunning home that has been restored so beautifully. The suite was perfect & we enjoyed our stay throughly. Would definitely recommend & we will be back again for sure.

Thankyou Anne for being the perfect host, friendly, supportive and helpful. An absolutely immaculate studio in an excellent location to walk into town. Also close to main driving routes to travel around Waikato. Highly Recommended, Barry.

Very clean and recently refurbished. Nice furniture and quiet, considering how close it is to a main road. Very comfortable stay.

The place is awesome and perfect if you like a very quiet and close to nature ambiance. The host was very lovely too and accommodating with their adorable dog. They even prepared complimentary foods for the guests. All in all we highly recommend this place.👌

Great place with lovely hosts. Jenny was super friendly with good recommendations for things to do around the area. Located in a good, quiet place that was only a few minutes drive from all the fun touristy things to do. The accommodation itself was very clean, cozy yet spacious with all the listed amenities. Would definitely recommend:)

Lovely stay about 10-15 minute drive from town. Nice and clean. Queen bedroom is in a loft with no doors and king is in a private bedroom, so keep that in mind. Otherwise, the home was the perfect size for 3 adults, who mostly stayed inside due to inclement weather. Did not walk to the beach during our stay but after checking out, it was a short and pleasant drive.

We had a great stay at this cozy, comfy and clean apartment. The neighborhood is quiet, feels safe and has a grocery store and some restaurants within 10 minutes walk. The host is very nice and always quick to respond.

Amazing home and location! Enjoyed the stars at night! Would stay here again!

Nice quiet house and good location close to Skyline, the lake and a park. Plenty of space for our family of 6.

A few years ago my partner and I went to Rotorua and stayed with Graham and Sarndra, we loved it so much we made a point to come back and stay with them again. Graham and Sarndra are amazing hosts, they’re friendly, kind and extremely caring. They go the extra mile for their guests and are happy to share their knowledge of amazing places to go and see. We have always felt right at home coming to their place and love spending time with their very much loved animals. We could not recommend more highly coming to stay. Their guest house is always extremely clean, quiet and a short drive from many amazing things to do and see. You’ll always will have what you need coming to their guest house and won’t go without. Highly recommend staying, we know we will be back again and won’t be booking anywhere else to stay when we visit.

Loved our stay, easy access to the mall and beach. Really appreciated the heat pump being on when we arrived to cool down the house. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Phil

We had an excellent stay at this property. There was ample room and facilities for the size of our group. The kitchen was well stocked with staple items and crockery. The host, Vicky, responded quickly to our request for a new tin opener when the old one was found to be broken. Would definitely recommend this property for a stay in Taupo.

Great place to stay with a group or larger whānau! Felt super comfy and right at home

We used Joss and Wayne's place for a team building retreat. It was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen for our self-catering, beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Joss and Wayne were great hosts - showed us where everything was and then left us to it. As well as the great kitchen, there was also a lovely outside area with a BBQ for relaxing at night. Great venue. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect place for us to rest after a full on week. Beautifully decorated and so much space. Beds were comfortable with quality linen. Kitchen was well stocked and towels in plenty for spa/beach made available. Bonus having a washing machine available to wash clothes during stay. Sun soaked location capturing all day sunshine. If we had children with us it would have been an absolute joy for them also as scooters, boogie boards were available to use. Such a perfect spot for couples, families or individuals seeking a spot that feels like home but on holiday. We will definitely return if available as I can see why it’s an accomodation that is in hot demand. Thank you Toni & Todd for your incredible hospitality.
