Great place to stay

Stayed in April 2024

The sofa was uncomfortable and the bed was not so comfortable. The frying pan and the pan did not fit the size of the hob. And it would be good to have a light above the mirror in the bathroom. To have fly screens on the windows would be good so that you could open the windows.

The outside bath, the cleanliness of the apartment and the location. The modern design and the bathroom.

The price per night seemed slightly wrong; as in it was slightly too expensive for what it was given its location, no lake view, ten minutes from town etc. Alternatively it was missing just a little special something to justify the cost. While not a big deal its lacking a table or couple of ottomans + coffee table to deal with more than two people eating.

The accomodation was beautifully presented with ample space, storage and thoughtful gestures. Romantic getaway.

The apartment is beautiful and in a lovely peaceful place. It is well equipped and everything one would need has been provided.

Charming and well equipped apartment in quiet and beautiful location, close to Lake Taupo. The outdoor bathtub and view of mount Tauhara was a plus. Very friendly hosts . Would certainly love to stay there again

I'm hard pressed to find any faults with this property except in-unit laundry facilities would have put the icing on the cake. However they are available to use in the adjoining owners property if one wishes.

Staghorn Retreat is a fabulous little gem tucked away in the countryside only a few minutes drive from Lake Taupo. It was so comfortable I didn't want to leave - it had every amenity one could wish for. Beautifully decorated with quality items, spotlessly clean and in a pleasant location. Great job by the hosts, and thankyou for the enjoyable complimentary bottle of wine.

A bit remote from Taupo CBD. Coffee cups are too big for pod machine.

Lovely new property with the private accommodation we required. Well presented and pristine.

House was very cute and neat. View was amazing. Was a wonderful little escape especially if you come from the city like we did! Had a baby lamb show up at the back and a few chickens which actually felt amazing to see how friendly they were. Owners of the property were very nice and Friendly and even let us have a look around their property where we seen cows and lambs. 😄😄😊😊

Nothing, stay was perfect.

Decor was great, really thoughtfully finished and well equipped. It was a great location to stop, not too far from Taupo.

Only one of the bathroom doors lock worked (the one from the single beds side doesn’t stay down) and the sliding doors bang a little when shutting and can disturb the persons on the other side. Couldn’t find any coasters for drinks and was worried about staining furniture. Also 3 people staying but only 2 trays so 1 of us had to sit at the breakfast bench for dinner.

The property was easy to find and secure. The view of the mountain was good and loved the bird song. All basic needs were covered with tea coffee facilities to cooking utensils and bathroom necessities. Once we’d figured the heating out the property warmed up nicely. Beds were comfortable and plenty of plug sockets. Lighting was good.

excellent property

Stayed in March 2023

Nothing. Everything first class.

We have just finished a world tour and have stayed in many countries and different types of accommodation. This was probably the best self-catering place for 2 people we stayed in. Very comfortable, spotless, very well designed and obviously everthing thought about carefully. Excellent equipment - especially the dishwasher! Very quiet and peaceful. Able to see the stars at night as no light pollution. Very easy drive from Taupo.

Stayed in March 2023

Everything met our expectations.

It was located in a nice quiet area as we wanted. It is beautifully presented and built at high standards. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was provided in the kitchen and overall. We enjoyed our time.

Probably a few more kitchen utensils - peeler, strainer, bbq utensils and bbq cleaning brush.

Nicely appointed. Love the Ecoya products.

Loved the property. Only comments would be bedroom doors squeak, needs CRC. Would have been good to have a wee table or chair in the rooms for bags.

Liked that it was out of town and nicely decorated. Was very homely and clean, bed was comfortable and clean with a beautiful view.

Wonderful apartment, neatly decorated and everything was in top shape. Great view on the mountain. Haven't seen the hosts, you get inside with an access code.
