Matt 
“Very happy with property”
- Matt, December 2023 -
Lisa “A lovely place to stay!”
Such a wonderful location right on the lake.
- Lisa, September 2023Rosie “Lovely stay and loved that there was a lot of extra heaters in rooms however, extra blankets would have been helpful as some of the heaters were extremely noisy so made it difficult to sleep therefore had to turn heater off.”
Extra blankets would have been handy. Otherwise a fantastic home and we enjoyed every second of it. Obviously not an issue in summer.
- Rosie, June 2023Debra “A lovely, large, warm and welcoming home with amazing views.”
- Debra, May 2023Kim “Great place.”
Awesome location. Very spacious. The twin room at the front gets traffic noise from the highway but only bothered one of our girls one night when she was having trouble falling asleep.
- Kim, January 2023Paul “Beautiful Place with a lovely view of the lake.”
Although being on SH1 you hear next to no traffic adding to the ambience of a tranquil spot. Kitchen and Facilities are well appointed with everything that we needed. Only improvements would be having internet and Tv that you could watch when you're not able to go outside, a couple of the single beds could do with an update and some of the doors were hard to open from age etc. Other than that, it was a great spot to relax in Thank you PS: If there is no breeze i suggest taking some bug spray for dining on the deck in the early evening awesome sun sets to be had
- Paul, November 2022We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at this great property and appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback - thank you! Bachcare
Judith “Excellent location & facilities, homely and welcoming however this house seriously needs a good handyman starting with doors, locks, handles & hinges and then followed by a good spring clean.”
The big mouse or small rat ran over the toes retreating under the dishwasher may be notice of new but unwelcome guests that need to be evicted. With all windows not able to be opened, the lack of fresh air or working aircon this place would be unbearable in the warmer months Not being able to access down the drive to the lower level to unpack and pack was very annoying. Blocked by large pot plants. It would be good to take a trailer with water kayaks etc but not if you can't access down. Not happy leaving vehicles out on SH1 all night was a security issue.
- Judith, October 2022Great that you enjoyed this wonderfully located and well-equipped property. We will address and work on the issues that you have raised - thank you! Bachcare
Ashleigh “We had an amazing stay.”
The house was clean, spacious, warm, and well-equipped. The location was beautiful - the sunset from the deck was unreal.
- Ashleigh, October 2022Jackie “We booked this property a year ago to celebrate my 60thvwith our extended family of 10.”
It was amazing... location, facilities, cleanliness was 10/10. We will be back. Thankyou for sharing your piece of paradise with us..
- Jackie, September 2022Tracey “While this place had the size and view it did lack the cleanliness that you would expect with the price being paid.”
Also I texted the number that was provided twice about some issues and never received a message back.
- Tracey, August 2022We are so pleased that you enjoyed this spacious wonderful bach with great views and apologise that the cleaning may not have been to our usual high standard on this occasion. Bachcare
Deb “Thank you for sharing your wonderful bach.”
Awesome views, beautiful sunsets, amazing showers and comfy beds. Loads of space for all the family. Hard to fault!
- Deb, June 2022Hayes “Excellent sized house lots of room for big groups or families ,mod cons with a touch of older villa feel to set the mood with a view to die for of the lake right on your doorstep.”
Beautiful stay
- Hayes, March 2022Gilly “Loved the property.”
Was a good fit for our group and the lake access was fantastic. Would love to see Wifi get put into the property, as we had a couple trying to work while they were there. Only negative was that there was only one rubbish bag sticker for a house that had 10 people over a 4 days stay.
- Gilly, January 2022Kathinka “Loved the house, very well equiped kitchen and lots of seating in the livingroom and outside.”
Beautiful towels and sheets.
- Kathinka, January 2022Mary “A lovely big comfortable house, was suitable for our family of 6 adults and 4 kids.”
A well equipped kitchen, great comfortable beds and amazing big bathrooms with huge new showers.Only a short drive to Taupo township, right on the lakefront and lots of other places to explore.We would highly reccommend the house for your stay
- Mary, January 2022Melissa “Would not recommend this property for the price we paid.”
It was dirty, musty and the area where the bulk of the bedrooms are was poorly ventilated. There were no umbrellas or shade sails etc. to enjoy the outdoor areas. We were greeted by a grumpy neighbor who asked us to make sure the kids didn't move the sand from the beach. (Our kids hadn't even touched it yet). For the price you are asking and the photos you have put up it is not value for money and the photos are not a true representation of the property. We have sent multiple emails regarding our complaints and have not received any response. We also made over 20 phone calls to your offices and no response.
- Melissa, January 2022Rosa “Beautiful home - a great spot for friends/family to enjoy the lake!”
Great furnishings and room amenities. Remember to close doors/windows and turn the outdoor lights off in the evening as the mosquito bugs do go a bit wild when the sun has gone down! Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
- Rosa, December 2021Darryn “Property was well presented and perfect for our family stay.”
Great communication and our questions answered quickly. We would stay again.
- Darryn, October 2021Kamaea “When we arrived the house was very musty, we would have appreciated if they aired it out the day before.”
There were insects on the windowsills and a cockroach in the bathroom sink. One of the doors wasn’t really accessible as there was an overgrown vine on it. Dishes in the cupboard were not cleaned properly and the ensuite shower was clogged as well as the sink having a green ring around the drain. There were lots of broken things around the house I.e vents not opening (there’s only windows in the kitchen) the garage door had to be held open as you’re driving in, there is a hole in the backyard filled with stinky water as well as door handles being broken and the bbq not cleaned. Overall it ended up being comfortable once we settled in and cleaned. Nice big house. Lovely bathrooms. Sheets, duvet and pillows were great quality. The property manager was nice and very responsive as we locked ourselves out and she was there within 2 minutes. Lots of space and a beautiful property.
- Kamaea, September 2021Thank you for your review Kamaea! We're glad you enjoyed your stay At Lakefront Villa, as well as our great local service. We're sorry that there were a few issues with the property that put a bit of a damper on your stay and we've already raised this with the local team for addressing. A plumber has been called in and we'll be looking at the garage door repair as well. We hoper to see you again in the future so you can enjoy this property again at its best! Bachcare
