Blokhutten in Taupo Bay

'We had a beautiful stay, and were so looked after by our host. Walking distance to the beach, and amazing property for the kids to explore. Our Japanese Cedar cabin was such a treat to stay in.'

'Great stay, lovely homely feeling. Comfortable bed and good books/local info.'

'We arrived late, it was dark. Great communication but when we got the key it was a little hard to follow the map as the area wasnt lit up that well and the signage was poor. When we got inside there were a few bugs 🐛. I went to boil the jug to make a bottle for my infant but the jug was really dirty. The sink couldnt see if it was hot or cold, could only get one element to work. Unable to connect to the wifi following the instructions. Not able to discuss with staff due to us arriving so late....

'If you like to sleep in, then the honeymoon suite is not for you. They have a dog and small children that wake you up early by running around above you. We also had to kill 8 big bugs( i know its a outdoorsy place and i expect some bugs but not 8) before we went to sleep that night. '

'Beautiful estate with a huge beach to yourself if you are up to walking 30 minutes to reach it. Stayed in a villa for two days but there was no replenishing nor housekeeping for the second day. The restaurant atmosphere is non existant and the receptionist could have been working at a youth hostel. No personnel on the grounds - very quiet.'

'Wonderful classic Kiwi bach. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday without the inflated price tag. Host was awesome, beach was awesome, fishing was awesome. If you're wanting a practical holiday stay, its excellent value. '

'Villa Reve was a lovely place to stay and property is beautiful. Very friendly hosts. Handy to Mangonui village and stunning beaches to the north. '
