"Property was neat and had everything we needed. Very nice play area for kids. Enjoyed our stay! Thank you"

"A great 4 days exploring the area, shame the autumn weather didn't hold out."

"We had an amazing stay at the Retro Retreat! The location next to Lake Taupo is absolutely stunning and made our trip even more memorable. The weather was lovely as well. The batch house was incredibly nice, tidy, and well-maintained. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the basic amenities and the lollies for the kids—they loved them! The location is very quiet at night. It’s less than 5 minutes to the lake, which was perfect for us. The kitchen windows offers nice panoramic view...

"We enjoyed our stay here. Great location, the back unit is restful looking out on bush. Some noise between units but not too bad. Everything we needed."

"Very nice location and great view"

"Good place, was tidy and everything we needed"

"Tha stay was lovely and easy checkin and checkout process. Very clean and there were plenty of space for 12 people."

"The apartment was a bit smaller than it looked in the photos, however it was very clean and within walking distance of the town centre which was great. Additionally, having an off road parking space was really useful. The downside was the noisy neighbours, particularly the upstairs neighbours who were loud throughout the night making it difficult to get a good nights sleep."

"Very nice and cosy place for a samll family !"

"Lovely clean accommodation; in very pretty grounds with secure decking . Comfy beds. Easy communication."

"Had everything we needed for our three night stay and was handy to the lake for a quick dip! We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the great views of the lake. The location was quiet with the walkway along the lake good for our morning walk. Private snd plenty of room for our group of 12. Would highly recommend 👌"
