Rise and Shine - Taupo

Good family entertaining area.

The outdoor fire pictured in the adds was forbidden to be used. The facility was a little worn, Cooktop broken, no functioning locks on the toilet/ bathrooms. Shower dripping in onsuite keeping us awake. no clear instruction on the washer/dryer and dishwasher.

Good location, large, clean and tidy

Some of the house getting a bit tired

The area is spectacular.

Well set up property with all you need for your stay. Clean and tidy throughout with a lovely spa to enjoy. Gemma the property manager was very accommodating to our needs. Recommended 🙂

Good size rooms and beds comfortable, nice house

Gardens could be weeded, crockery and cutlery could have been cleaner

Comfort, quiet, home away from home.

The exterior chairs and table require some love.

Meet our needs, well located and had all the facilities we needed.

Maybe the stairs lol but a bit of exercise wouldn’t hurt.

Location, layout of accommodation.

Nothing

Very spacious and perfect for groups! We loved having two lounge areas with plenty of comfortable seating. The house was well equipped — there were more than enough towels (both regular and swimming), a great selection of quality products, and plenty of tea towels and dishwashing tablets for the entire stay. It was also surprisingly warm for the time of year, which made it extra cosy and comfortable.

The spa was unfortunately not clean — the water looked off, had an unpleasant smell, and foamed up when the bubbles were turned on. The temperature also stayed fixed at around 35 °C, and we couldn’t find any chlorine to treat it. The single bed wasn’t very comfortable as the springs could be felt through the mattress. The kitchen could use a few more deep bowls, and it would have been handy to have a remote for the garage. The outdoor furniture also needs replacing, as several pieces were broken.
