We had a beautiful view of the lake out of the large picture window in our room. And also from the guest sitting room and the breakfast room. Our hosts were helpful and friendly. Everywhere was clean and comfortable they told us about a great restaurant within walking distance because after driving all day we just wanted to leave the... More

Whilst we didn't sample other B & B's in Taupo, we can't imagine one being better. Rob & Becky are lovely people and wonderful hosts. Their home is extremely spacious and our bedroom was a generous size complete with walk in robe and large bathroom. The bathroom also had special touches such as perfume and great quality shampoo and conditioner... More

We stayed in the small cottage at the back of the property. The cottage has been very well designed for guests with everything one could need. It is decorated nicely and well maintained. The Lodge is set in a residential area about ten minutes by car from the centre of town. There is a good view of Lake Taupo from... More

We spent three nights at this superb property with great hospitality from the owners Rob and Becky. Our most comfortable room looked straight out over the lake. With a hot tub on the spacious terrace and sumptuous towelling robes we enjoyed the luxury of it all. One thing Rob & Becky do which we really liked was to have a... More

The " cottage" is set back at the back of the garden , so is really private, but only a short walk across the lawn into the house. It had the... More

We stayed at Tauhara Sunrise Lodge for a week in November on our annual fishing trip to Taupo. This was our second visit to the Lodge and, as last year, Rob and Becky were wonderful hosts. Rob organized our fishing (which was very successful) as well as mountain-biking and hiking. Becky looked after our every need with warmth and enthusiasm.... More

We arrived quite late in the day and had to make an earlyish start to get away the next day which was entirely our mistake! - we wish we had had more time to spend here once we saw the amazing seperate suite behind the lodge which was to be our bed for the night. It was beautiful and an... More

The most lovely spot in all of Taupo with the greatest hosts ever! 'Cocktails and canapés' hour and the juicy converstaions are not to be missed. We had to force ourselves to leave the warmth and comfort of our hosts and their lovely home to get out and do our sightseeing. We can't wait to get back!
