The "lounge" area is part of the main bedroom, from where the view is best, but somewhat limiting in terms of access for all at all times. But it did not detract from an otherwise very enjoyable weekend.

The view from the unit is excellent and there's a great deal of attention to detail which makes it special. We enjoyed a fine continental breakfast. Cheryl even catered for my daughter's vegan taste. We loved the hands-off but yet easy contact with hosts Darren and Cheryl.

We arrived in the evening to The Nest and it was so easy to check in and get settled. The place was way bigger than we anticipated and wow what a view. At night we could see the whole Lake Taupo illuminated by the moon and during the day it was lovely to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise. The location was great to get around the area and such a comfy and lovely stay while we explored Rotorua, Taupo, and the surrounding area.

A magical spot perched on the hillside looking south down the lake. Spectacular in all weather! Creative decor with every attention to detail to ensure a comfortable stay. A generous supply of a variety of breakfast supplies. Friendly and respectful hosts. Would love to return another time!

High on the hill, The Nest has a warm and homely feel and properly the best view we’ve ever stayed at. Loved watching the activity on the lake, such a great place to exhale and watch the world go by. Our hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. A true pleasure to deal with.

There is nothing we could think of.

Wonderful location with fantastic views upon lake taupo. You just sit, relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery. The breakfast arrangement includes a very nice choice of bread & spreads, fresh fruits & cereals as well as very good coffee , tea & juice. The owner make you feel very welcome and you will have a wonderful time.

Nothing. You will need a car to venture into the town.

The views are even better than the photos suggest. The hosts are lovely and welcoming. The place is perfect for a short stay.

We really enjoyed staying at the Nest. The view of the lake is stunning and the place is beautiful and spotless clean. It’s only 10mins drive from the city. We can stay away from the hustle of the city when we want to relax, and it’s still convenient enough if we want to grab a coffee or drink in city, Cheryl is very easy to communicate during our stay, the check in was easy. I would highly recommend staying at the Nest when visiting Taupō.

The Nest is a beautiful property with amazing views. It was so peaceful to sit and watch the lake and Cheryl and Darren were very friendly and hospitable. The home had everything we needed with a lovely continental breakfast included. We can’t recommend The Nest enough and wish we could have stayed longer.

The apartment was gorgeous, the photos you see when booking are what you get. Every little details has been thought of in this apartment. The views are just beautiful and you’re only a short drive to Taupo cbd. The hosts were attentive, friendly and helpful.

The facility was nice and clean, and what really impressed us, was the thought the owners have put into the property to make us feel right at home. We loved the continental breakfast they have prepared for us. And needless to say, the lake view was picture perfect! We would definitely come back again.
