    “We loved the beach Bach but had a few concerns as listed below.”

    1). Not really suitable for any one with mobility issues eg. The slope to and from back door. Is quite steep for elderly people .Getting in and out of cars on the steep drive way which needs upgrading as cars had to manoeuvre around the run up . The stairs from the main house to the rumpus room were extremely steep and needs to be mentioned in the listing 2). More detailed instructions needed apart from the manual on the bench top hot plate and oven as we never did fathom out the microwave ...

    1). Not really suitable for any one with mobility issues eg. The slope to and from back door. Is quite steep for elderly people .Getting in and out of cars on the steep drive way which needs upgrading as cars had to manoeuvre around the run up . The stairs from the main house to the rumpus room were extremely steep and needs to be mentioned in the listing 2). More detailed instructions needed apart from the manual on the bench top hot plate and oven as we never did fathom out the microwave . Only the younger person in our group was able to work out how TV worked 3). The fridge door seal was broken and we did loose some food . Luckily we discovered this on Christmas Eve and we’re able to buy a replacement seal at Bunnings. I left all relative paper work at the house. 4). As we were visitors to Taupo we had no idea that the recycling and rubbish would be collected on Boxing Day. . The last thing we would have thought about on Christmas Day was putting out the rubbish . A note regarding this would have been most helpful . One of our group took all the recycling home with him. We tried to contact Waste Management but to no avail to empty rubbish bin. We made use of the BBQ provided but unfortunately we could find nothing to clean it with hence we left it as clean as we could . 5). We strongly suggest some sort of sun shade for the front deck . It was a beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the wonderful views but alas lack of sun protection we were unable to enjoy this to its full potential. Also some sort of blind in the dining area as the sun blinded us in the mornings. Apart from the above fore mentioned issues the house was truly amazing and we loved staying there . The house was more then fully equipped with every day needs . Spacious and able to accommodate our family well . We had the most beautiful weather and actually did not venture out much at all . We made use of all the facilities there including the spa pool . It’s the perfect spot for a family holiday with the outside lawn area and the pool and table tennis table down stairs . I trust this review has not come across as to negative. I wanted to point out the few anomalies that can soon be put right to make the Black Lake House stand out against other holiday rental homes in Acacia Bay . I would most certainly recommend it to other people.

As there is a section of the deck without a barrier with a drop on to concrete, all guests should take care when using this area due to the risk of falls.

Guests should bring their own Nespresso compatible pods to make use of the available machine.

Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
