We were greeted by a cold beer by Ivan as soon as we arrived – how good is that? Other than two beers! Our suite with side garden access was all we could have wished for – spacious, spotless and a very comfortable super-sized bed. We breakfasted with Maggie and Ivan during our stay and were treated not only to... More

The reviews I've read are spot on. Margaret and Ivan offer a great welcome with tea (or a beer) on arrival. Room (upstairs) was fine with all the facilities you could wish for with great style. Margaret prepared a wonderful breakfast, all sat together giving perfect opportunity to chat and plan activities. Once again with just a 2 day stay... More

Maggie and Ivan welcomed us into their home from the outset as if we were old friends. A welcomed cup of tea after our journey from Aucklland was much appreciated. The garden area was very colourful and relaxing as Maggie went through the many choices available in the area of Taupo that suited our holiday. Our room was well appointed... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found the hosts very friendly and informative. Breakfasts turned into a delightful and chatty affair.The stay was glorious, comfortable and quiet.. Well presented, clean and well set out accommodation, nothing too much trouble. Would love to reccommend it to others, but then would that leave room for us on return

This was our second visit to New Zealand. On our last trip we drove from Rotorua to Napier without a stopover but decided this time that we must make time to visit Lake Taupo which is a really beautiful area. We arrived on a very, very hot Sunday lunchtime and found the town absolutely packed with people which was a... More

We arrived into Taupo without accommodation but wanting to stay a few nights. We found Above the Lake on the net and could only get in for one night. We took it, the weather was not good and this place looked very inviting Ivan & Maggie were both there to greet us. We were given the Lake view room, it... More

We chose the Above the Lake B&B from reading the Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The room - more like a suite - was spacious and very clean. The room was on the ground floor so there is no view but for one night it was a great stopover. The house is set back from the road... More

We, two couples, stayed two nights with Ivan and Maggie in their home's 2-bedroom suite. The suite is clean, roomy, light and cheery, and nicely furnished. Located at ground level, the outer wall of the three rooms are windows, with access from the living room to a patio with table and chairs. Maggie and Ivan are delightful people and hosts.... More
