This was our first experience of a B&B. We usually stay at motels. I was a little apprehensive,but was put at ease the minute Angela opened the door. Her warm smile and greeting us by name made us feel so welcome.After being shown our lovely room, we were invited to join Angela for a cup of tea in the lounge.... more

Clean, comfortable stay with lovely spacious rooms. Nice hosts and great food cooked by Angela. It didn't feel like the B&B business was Angela and Bruce's first love, so it lacked a bit of 'warmth' but we enjoyed our stay. more

Probably the least inspiring B&B we stayed in while traveling around NZ. The most off-putting thing was the masked smell of stale tobacco permeating both our room downstairs and, it seemed, the rest of the house. Nice hosts, but didn't make up for the rest. more

Management response from
gaye, owner

We have always advertised our guest suites are smoke free rooms. It is with much regret that not all tourists respect property and the wishes of accommodation providers. In this case, smokers had booked the suite in question the night prior. Although they said they would smoke outside on the patio, It is clear they must have smoked in doors....

Stayed 3 nights January 09 ‘Above the Lake’ Taupo must be one of the top B&Bs in New Zealand. We had the Lake View Suite, which was well appointed and complete with a large fridge and spa bath (both essentials for G&T drinkers), the room also had a lake view of course. The hosts were fantastic with us, and Angela’s... more

We were delighted with our short stay at Above the Lake. We arrived a little earlier than the advertised check in time but were welcomed warmly by our host Angela with a refreshing cup of tea. The B and B was absolutely spotless and our cosy room had everything that we needed. Breakfasts were a real feast and Angela was... more

We stayed with at Above the Lake for three terrific nights just after Christmas. Bruce and Angela were ideal hosts; warm and engaging, but not intrusive. Rather than providing the same standard fare for breakfast each morning, Angela offered a bit of variety including the house specialty, smoked trout omelette, which should not be missed! For us though, Koda, the... more

We have just returned from a 3 week honeymoon in NZ which incorporated a 3 night stay at Above the Lake. We chose this location earler in 2008 from an internet search and followed up directly with the Owners. We travelled from the Bay of Islands to Taupo and after the 8 hour drive we were overwhelmed by the warm... more

We were travelling from Rotorua to Wellington by car and our holiday itinery meant that we only had one night in Taupo. Unfortunately this coincided with the F1 motor racing event enabling us to see some lovely cars but preventing us from exploring Taupo town. However, we were then able to enjoy this venue and it's immediate surrounds to the... more

The room was clean and comfortable, everywhere was spotless. Breakfast very good (the trout omelette was delicious).But.. and there is a big but. We was asked if we would like to book a fishing trip for our 2nd day, not being a fan of fishing or boats we declined.This proved to be the downfall, it was made perfectly clear to... more

Sadly we could only stay one night at Taupo which wasn't nearly enough, but we were warmly welcomed by Angela and enjoyed tea in her sitting room which has lovely views of the lake. Our rooms were very comfortable, clean and warm (it was very cold outside the day we stayed) and it was great to have a separate sitting... more
