We were in unit 9 on the end looking out over the lake, a split level unit with the living area upstairs including a balcony. Good free Wi-fi. The spa bath in the bedroom was novel but great fun. Units are a little dated,but very clean and extremly well equiped. The lake is 30 secs away. We had planned 2... More

We arrived in Taupo in the rain - and it didn't stop - so thank goodness we had a room at Cottage Mews. Yes, it's a bit dated, but what it lacks in high end mod cons it makes up for in charm and service. The split-level accommodation had a bathroom, comfy bed and spa bath and shower downstairs and...

We had a lovely view of the lake facing south,also the mountains, from an upstairs unit.2 story unit.Living upstairs.Only 2 armchairs there & not very comfortable.A couch would have been nice.Great spa bath.Unit a little tired,but very clean.30 secs to beach.Very friendly people.

Went to Taupo, and planned to check few motels by myself before deciding which one to book. (of course checked tripadvisor's review the day before). Reached Taupo and found this cottage first. I went in and asked for available room. The one facing Lake was all occupied. The guy (Terry) said he got another available room, but only garden view...... More

We had a studio on the ground floor with a delightful small courtyard which was a real suntrap. The self-catering facilities were good for making breakfast etc. The location was excellent - right by the lake with a walking path and close enough to Taupo for essentials without being right in the town. Pub and a fish and chip shop... More

Good solid accommodation at a good price. Nice friendly staff and very accommodating. Right on the lake - but very few units (if any) with lake views. Great price for the room size and location.

This isn't the first time we've stayed here and I'm sure it won't be the last. The decor is a little dated but who cares when the place is as clean and as tidy as it is. We got upgraded to a family suite with master bed, toilet & spa bath upstairs, and kitchen, bathroom & lounge downstairs. Great having... More

We only had one night on our tour of NZ but was wonderful. Maisonette style, bedroom and spa bath plus shower and loo downstairs, lounge and kitchenette upstairs. Friendly and most accommodating hostess. Our own back yard with gate to path leading to Lake.........alas weather wasnt great. View to lake lovely Just wish we could have stayed longer. Great place... More

I thank the people who wrote the good reviews that prompted me to book one night at this hotel. It was everything & more than we expected.!! The bedroom was downstairs & the kitchenette/sitting room was upstairs so that it looked over the lake. A great idea. Not only was there a spa bath but a small jug of lavender... More
