    I loved the feeling of cottage mews, it wasn't a sterile motel room, it was cozy and homely. It was also spotlessly clean and the room was a great size. The bath was great with plenty of hot water. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in Taupo we really enjoyed our stay.

    Staying at the Lakefront Lodge Taupo was a last minute decision due to a weather event & road closure being the middle of Winter. Room was warm, clean and cozy with a Comfortable Bed. Reception Staff were wonderful, including a quick tour of the Lodge and its facilities. Was a good choice for a night's stay and would definitely stay again.

    A lovely cottage where the owner went out of her way to make it comfortable, warm and inviting. It was definitely a home away from home. The cottage was spacious with a kitchen, bathroom and 3 bedrooms which was perfect for our family of 5. We arrived in the evening to a warm cottage and the fire set up ready to be lit. Beds were comfortable and warm. It was total bliss!
