"Majestic perch, perfectly positioned to explore Taupo"

10.0

Wowza, what an excellent place! Just minutes out of Taupo with its beaches, walkable downtown, and proximity to nearby attractions, The Nest was a beautiful place to unwind after fun filled days. The location is superb with sweeping panoramic views of shire-like countryside including the blue bays of the Lake Taupo and anchored boats in the distance. We enjoyed the scene while sipping wine on the ample deck of the studio or through floor to ceiling windows. It was a very comfortable stay with every modern convenience. The hosts were welcoming, kind, and great sources of local knowledge. We can recommend without reservation. A perfect and auspicious start to our New Zealand adventure!

"L’un des plus belles vues au monde ? Tout est parfait !"

10.0

Dès notre arrivée, nous avons su que ce lieu était un véritable bijou. Tout est impeccable, parfaitement entretenu et pensé avec beaucoup de soin. En entrant, nous avons eu des étoiles dans les yeux. La vue sur la verdure et le lac est tout simplement à couper le souffle. La décoration intérieure est élégante, très travaillée, et la subtile inspiration française a été pour nous un clin d’œil particulièrement touchant, comme un petit goût de chez nous. La réalité est encore plus jolie que les photos!! La maison est un véritable nid douillet, confortable, où rien ne manque. Même les jours de fort vent, le léger courant d’air dans la chambre au niveau des fenêtres est vite oublié en se blottissant sous la couette ou en enfilant les peignoirs qualitatifs et les chaussons mis à disposition. Le lit est très confortable. Il y a beaucoup de rangements disponibles dans les deux chambres. Le petit déjeuner proposé était très bon : céréales, cookies, salade de fruits, jus de fruit ! J’ai adoré également la banquette dans la cuisine, très confortable pour lire un livre et apprécier la vue vers la végétation. Pour votre linge à laver il y a des laveries au centre de Taupo. Merci pour votre gentillesse, vos précieux conseils pour notre séjour et pour avoir créé un lieu aussi beau, qui donne immédiatement envie d’en prendre soin et de le respecter. Nous avons adoré notre séjour!! Et j’espère un jour pouvoir revenir ☺️

"Un logement extraordinaire avec une vue fantastique sur le lac"

10.0

Emplacement fabuleux avec une vue incroyable sur le lac Taupo. La maison est entourée d'un très beau jardin. Les hôtes extrêmement sympathiques font tout pour que le séjour soit le plus cosy possible !

Il manque d'une casserole pour cuisiner et d'une plaque de cuisson. Sinon il y a airfryer, plancha et barbecue.

The view is truely amazing

Breakfast was supposed to be provided, bread, cereal and milk were provided however the condiments and butter were all expired up to 2 years 🤢 This was very much a let down unfortunately. I didn’t want to trust the cereal was in date as it was in a jar and given the butter and condiments were severely expired it was very much off putting unfortunately :( The butter was a year expired, the peanut butter 2 years expired - this is very much unacceptable. We also found the pillows on the bed to be very firm and uncomfortable, some different pillows would be great :)

View amazing. Spacious accommodation. Warm and cosy during winter as efficient heat pump. Amply supplied with cutlery and crockery, kitchen gadgets making simple catering easy. Warm bathroom on colder mornings.

Bathroom floor could have been slightly cleaner as found long black hairs under the towel rail.
