A great change to the ordinary. Very friendly hosts. A great well stocked fireplace. Breakfast food was good. The noodle van at the corner was good value.

I was looking for a place to stay near the golf course we planned to visit for the weekend and found The Gallery. It's just a 5-minute drive to Kinloch Club, which is fantastic. Driving into the driveway, we were warmly welcomed by Rod, who introduced us to Jo. Jo gave us a thorough briefing about our room, the facilities, places nearby to check out and breakfast. They are truly warm and genuine people. Although they live in the house, it wasn't an issue at all. We had a few enjoyable small chats about golf, and Rod even gave us tips on which golf courses to explore next. I loved the small talks with them; they were genuinely lovely people and we felt their excitement of having guests in their lovely home. We had our own room, which was very comfy and warm—just what we needed after a day on the golf course in cold, winter weather. We had our own bathroom, and the bed was very clean, very comfy, and fresh. We stayed for two nights, and each morning I woke up feeling energized and well-rested. Bath robes and towels were provided too! It's a peaceful home, perfect for us, trying to recover energy after a full day at the golf course. I have to say, I love their home decor. The lamps, paintings, sculptures and even the chairs are all beautiful and add a stylish, tasteful touch. Breakfast was ready in the dining area each morning. Jo is excellent in the kitchen, and I could tell some of the spread was homemade and very delicious! Breakfast reminded me of my mum, as I could sense Jo's care and passion in the preparation. We would love to go back and stay in the summer. I can imagine having breakfast in the outdoor garden would be delightful! Thank you very much Rod and Jo for welcoming us into your home!

It's a stunning location, with great views. We really enjoyed our stay here, Peter and Michelle were awesome hosts and very welcoming. Excellent breakfast with eggs from their own chickens, and spinach picked straight from the garden, all served with great coffee too. It was special to hand feed the deer too, something you can't get anywhere else! It was only a short drive through pretty countryside to Taupo township, where we went for dinner. Nice to stay in a new location near town with a different perspective and view of the lake.
