Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Taupo District

This is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. We encountered a tricky situation, and the host set off from Auckland at 1 AM to help us. This was my parents’ first trip to New Zealand, and the experience left them with a great impression and deep gratitude. I highly recommend this place—you’ll get an amazing house with convenient access to many attractions.

Lovely view, big house, kitchen has everything you need. Nice being able to walk the paddocks with the kids.

I'll be back. great place. great walks and bikes by the river. cheers

Good location. Well-equipped with heaters for the cold. Fast response from host.

Very comfortable and beautiful home in a safe spot close to town. Had everything I need for a very comfortable stay.

Loved the homeliness of this place, was comfortable and cosy. Particularly loved the environment, quiet and peaceful and close to the lake and river walks.

Very homely and Gail was great and very responsive.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Clint was a great and helpful host. We used this place as a base to do the Tongariro Crossing hike. A quick 20 minute drive to the car shuttle parking lot for the hike. Clint also suggested some nice beaches nearby. It was great to have the whole house to ourselves.

Atiamurphy is one of the best AirBNB places we have stayed at. Service provided, Host Communication and the Location, is perfect, for me at least. kids will have a blast, parents will get their peace, and travellers will scratch that itch whilst here! Thank you to Barry for your support throughout our stay

Spacious but intimate at the same time. The pool & spa was a luxury. Te Whio Retreat will be among our favorite top 5 Air bnb places in the north island. The retreat offers a private home away from home close enough to everything in turangi. Beautifully presented warm home. Large master bedroom with enough space for our baby to run around in his walker while we got ready in the ensuit. x3 showers with great pressure and heat, all able to be used at the same time. The backyard was enough room for our adult husky, fencing was high and kept her well enclosed and private from view of strangers if they were to approach the property. This home is situated in the rear end of a shared driveway, allowing for maximum privacy from public view. the two neighbouring properties on both sides of Te whio are also Airbnb/holiday homes and we're empty during our time at Te whio, we didn't have to worry about our kids causing "too much noise" whilst they made the most of the pool & us the spa.

When we opened the front door, we were amazed by the how close we were to the lake. We were thankful to have a grey, cold day…to light the fire, make a cuppa and watch the world go by outside. We woke to the sound of wind and when we looked out the bedroom windows, the ducks were riding the white caps on the lake. Do yourself a favour and book more than one night…it’s the perfect place to unwind

Despite an initial hiccup, we had a fantastic time at Tracy and Damien’s home. Tracy was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay and will hopefully return to stay here again!

Lovely house, situated right next to Taupo lake and super nice view in good weather, what a pity that it was raining for the 2 days during our stay. Clean and cozy, we enjoyed the stay.

Everything was exactly as expected. The beds were super comfy and I still can’t believe how quiet it was!

Mark’s place was perfect for our stay. Had everything we needed and the location was perfect as it’s a close walk to town and restaurants. Definitely recommend this place

Love the retreat. The hosts were extremely kind & accomodating and the house was absolutely beautifully clean. It’s a bonus we could take our dogs, they loved the lake!

A great old school kiwi bach. Close to Two Mile Bay. Super easy and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks

We had a fab stay, we all loved the animals and the peaceful surroundings.

Great location, super tidy place with heaps of space. Tony was great as well, very easy to communicate with

We loved this place. Great living area for socialising, well equipped kitchen, showers had awesome water pressure, several lovely areas to sit outdoors. Perfect for our family get together with some of us staying onsite and others in the town centre. And later some items we'd left behind were returned to us which we were grateful for.

Really enjoyed our weekend here, and would definitely want to stay here again next time we're in Taupo. Had everything we needed, warm, great lake front location, and really close to the sailing club for pizza etc

Very friendly people with a nice private place to stay, quite enjoyable.

Absolutely loved our stay at Shepards cabin, made to feel right at home. Enjoyed feeding the animals and watching the sunset on the hill.

Chrystal was very helpful and accommodating. Gave an extra heater for the cold night. Lovely tidy clean space with thoughtful extras of snaks, electric blanket, spare blanket and extra towels and toiletries. Doesn't have a microwave, but close to town for food. Flexible check in was a bonus. Recommended stay.
