Acacia Bay Lodge: Lakeview & Private Garden View Manor in Taupo
10/10 Excellent
"Traveling with my family of 7 and my parents, I needed a place that could sleep 9 people. My options were slim, however we found the perfect place with this rental. The house and gardens are beautiful, the view is spectacular out to the lake. The location is extremely private, you wouldn’t know you were in a neighborhood as it’s surrounded by native bush. I was nervous from other reviews that the hosts would be onsite, however we never heard nor saw anyone, I actually don’t know if they were there at all!Communication was excellent, check in and check out were easy. I would rent again, 5 stars. "
"We had a lovely stay here, the unit was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Our only problem was the single bunk beds which were very noisy and squeaky and the springs were too soft- one of our group got their hair caught in the springs.
Otherwise the unit was great. "
