B&B in Taupo

'My wife and I stayed three nights at the Whakaipo Lodge as part of a 12 day NZ vacation. We have traveled to many countries and stayed and some wonderful venues. My wife and I agree that Whakapio Lodge ranks as our favorite. Angie and Garth are amazing hosts. The room we had was spacious, private, modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is not an afterthought but a great home cooked meal. Wine (Garth knows wines) and canapés (by Angie) was a great way to end the day. We opted for a...

'They do have dogs and you hear the odd bark but it wasn’t bad. Only instant coffee. Enjoyed our stay. '

'We are so pleased that we’ve chosen this place to stay! Every single thing was perfect! The property is very clean and beautiful, the location is great, close to the centre & the lake, yet not too close, so you can have a quiet and peaceful time. Breakfast is very delicious :) Special thanks to our hosts, Ken and Marie, they are very friendly & welcoming. It was our first trip to Taupo, and their recommendations of places to go & to eat were so helpful. Overall, the best accommodation we’ve...

'Robin was an amazing host and we loved her beautiful property and hospitality! She was accommodating and helpful with recommendations and directions. Only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! Highly recommended!'

'Het ontbijt was perfect. Kamer is netje maar klein. Badkamer netjes. Maar voor de verdere rest geen ruimte om te zitten of wat te drinken. Dus alles moest op je slaapkamer gebeuren. De prijs voor dit alles was aan de hoge kant.'

'Owner Gary and Chef Chris were very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. Very natural hospitality minded folks, Gary thoughtfully pre-booked us dinner reservations nearby, which was very thoughtful. Canapés and wine happy hour was a delight. Would love to come back soon!'

'Dit hotel/appartement overtrof onze verwachtingen. We ontvingen een upgrade en daar waren we heel erg blij mee. We hadden een appartement met 3 slaapkamers en een heel groot balkon (met bubbelbad) en uitzicht over het meer. Alles is luxe aan dit appartement. Modern ingericht, goede bedden en 2 zeer goede badkamers.'

'We had a great stay here. The room could do with upgrading slightly and the bed wasn’t massively comfortable (though we are spoilt with our own one at home so could be being picky). The room we had was spacious, sunny and warm and in a fantastic location. The temporary property managers, Karen & Terry were awesome and so helpful. We would definitely recommend this property and will happily stay again next time. '

'Excellent views over the lake and easy access to shops and restaurants '
