Lake Terrace Lockwood

Fantastic location - just over the main road to the lakeshore, and a 10 minute stroll to 2 mile bay sailing club. Would be a 30+ min walk to reach Taupo town centre along the lake front.

The notes sent the day before (via email) did stress that the building is a Lockwood home, and therefore noises from the wood paneling should be expected. The noises were considerably louder than we had expected (not creaking sounds, rather like booming fireworks) especially at around midnight!! We all joked of being shaken awake by the sounds! The upstairs bathroom was spacious, but we could not get water pressure up there, and ended up showering in the downstairs bathroom during our stay. The house is a good size, with plenty of space and comfortable furniture, and the garden is lovely. The views from the upstairs balcony were also lovely. If I had young children I would be concerned about the open landing from the 2 upstairs bedrooms down into the main dining area. However child-gates were installed at the top and bottom of the staircase.

After reading the reviews I disagree . I have a huge family & this was more than great . We absolutely loved it , yes the house is creaky but when you have a very large family you are so use to noise & noise is all you want to hear .

The only thing we would fault about this was the shower water pressure , which everything else we loved .

The curtains missing in the rooms, hard to sleep in and to bright for the kids to sleep in. The house is squeaky and loud at night. Didn’t like all the dead leaves at the front door snd spa area. The drive way was abit challenging.

The house was very comfortable and was decorated really well to suit lake Taupō, Location was awesome with a short walk to the lake front. The back yard was great for the kids to run around and the spa was great to relax in.

We understand Lockwood homes are noisy but with the wind the house was extremely loud.

Location and Amy was awesome

House creeks heaps the top bathroom shower didn't work although listing did say top bathroom shower has low pressure,something in ceiling above bottom bedroom that kepted scratching keeping us awake

Great place, would definitely recommend

Home vibe, location and the view.
