Pam 
“Had a great time.”
Very well appointed and everything we needed. Loved all the personal touches and being able to use kayaks Even though we didnt, a bit chilly.. thanks keen to come again. Being away from Taupo crowds suits our family

Claire “The TV wasn't operating.”
The sky looked like it had been disconnected. We had an adult children with us who are very IT wise and they couldn't sort it. We rang the Bookabach but no solution. We re booked for next year please make sure the TV going so we can keep updated with the news.
- Claire, February 2024Sarah “We had three nights wonderful nights at Mahuta Maison with our 2 adult children and their partners over King's Birthday Weekend.”
The house is well appointed, warm and very comfortable. Even though the conditions on the lake were not good enough to take the kayaks out we appreciated being able to borrow the bikes and go for a ride. We had one small issue on our first night but this was attended to promptly the next day. As can be expected at 5 Mile Bay, State Highway 1 is only a couple of hundred metres away from the house so there was some noise from traffic at night. Even so, we had a very enjoyable holiday and would highly recommend this property.
- Sarah, June 2023Paulette “Fantastic girls break away.”
Gorgeous house, beautiful linen, everything you need (we couldn’t find the ironing board though). Across the road to the lake, amazing sunsets. Some used the kayaks, bikes and pool table. Beautiful deck. Road noise on the bedroom side of the house was noticeable but the street was quiet. Would highly recommend!!!
- Paulette, April 2023Debra “Great family place to stay thank you.”
Didn't realize we could have used the new bbq until last day. The old one hadn't been cleaned and was not in a state to cook on.So maybe new one should be checked by the cleaning team . Otherwise a fantastic place to stay
- Debra, April 2023Bruce “The photo's didn't do it justice,this was a great place with plenty of space,very handy to the Lake and with gates on the property it was safe for my young grandson.”
Everything appeared to be well maintained and there was plenty of off road parking for my boat as well,which is a must. All in all a great place to stay with all the comforts of home.
- Bruce, March 2023Simone “Overall, this was a clean and tidy home and nicely decorated.”
We all loved our stay and would definitely stay again.
- Simone, January 2023Leisa “Absolutely loved our stay.”
So close to the lake for a walk and swim. The house had everything you needed and was extremely comfortable. Very nicely decorated too. The only downfall would be the traffic noise at night time. We will definitely like to stay again.
- Leisa, January 2023Marlene “We had an amazing 3 night stay at the Mahuta Maison.”
Everything was clean, comfortable and perfect for a family of 8. A 30second walk to Lake Taupo and many things to keep us busy from the pool table, Bikes and Kayaks. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.
- Marlene, December 2022Denise “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the property was as described in the listing and very clean and beautifully decorated.”
We are looking to book again soon!
- Denise, October 2022Paula “The photos on the website didn’t do this lovely property justice because we were met by a property that was more than what we expected.”
The kayaks and pool table made for great entertainment in the afternoons after outdoor attractions. The house is beautifully decorated, spacious and comfy. We will definitely be back!
- Paula, April 2022James “Well presented house with everything you need, close walk through reserve to the lake.”
- James, February 2022Angela “We really enjoyed our stay at Mahuta Maison.”
The house was clean, comfortable and cosy. Our teenagers enjoyed playing pool, and we loved the location. The property is well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The alarm randomly went off one day. We called the property manager twice (for the code) but she didn’t answer so we called customer service and the number they gave us didn’t work!
- Angela, October 2021Thank you for your feedback, Angela! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and are sorry to hear about the alarm code confusions! We're looking into this with the local team to make sure that it works properly and that our lines are available for guests when they need to reach out. We hope to see you again in the future!

Heather “Great holiday home for bigger families.”
The only recommendation is to supply a fire guard for families with young children. Otherwise all you need is there. Warm comfortable home.
- Heather, July 2021Colleen “We really appreciated all the little extras in the home - kayaks, bikes and pool table.”
The house had everything to make guests feel at home including very comfy beds. The traffic noise was a bit loud on the first night but the trade-off was the proximity to a quiet beach and a beautiful walking track along the side of the lake. Was closer to Taupo town centre than we expected. Thanks for sharing your home, we’d love to return!
- Colleen, April 2021Olivia “The Bach was perfect and had everything we needed!”
We used the kayaks and bikes during the day then played board games at night! We had fun, thanks for having us stay.
- Olivia, March 2021Bernard “Great location, not even a 1 minute walk to the beach and cycle way, just a short drive from Taupo, great property for family, very well set up.”
- Bernard, February 2021Sandie “Overall fantastic home we loved the close proximity to the lake and really ...”
Overall fantastic home we loved the close proximity to the lake and really enjoyed our stay, the road noise for us was the only downer as trucks kept waking us through out the night
- Sandie, January 2021Kerry “Would highly recommend this stunning property.”
- Kerry, January 2021Emma “Great accommodation.”

- Emma, September 2020Lizette “Lovely Bach !”
Would definitely stay there again:)
- Lizette, September 2020Leo “The property was well represented when we came in.”
Quite sunny and cozy. Only the smallest room needs a bit more heating.
- Leo, July 2020Julie “Many thanks for making a cosy, welcoming and well appointed experience for our family gathering.”
Really lovely.
- Julie, July 2020Yixi “The owner provided Kayak and Table Pool for guests to enjoy.”
Lakeside location is definitly a bonus! The host is very professional and answered our question even on Sunday.
- Yixi, March 2020Rochelle “We had a lovely stay in your beautiful warm, sunny and modern house.”
Nice to be so close to the lake. The Kayaks and board games were a bonus. Thankyou
