Chalets in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Tania and Andy are amazing hosts, very friendly and helpful. The Moon Lodge is one of a kind, the details and all the little things were above and beyond. The outside tub is set in a beautiful sea of flowers and plants, soaking in the tub under the stars was truly magical. House was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked has stove/oven, large fridge, outdoor grill, everything you need to make your own meals easily. The bathroom was large and luxurious and stocked with lots of towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toilet paper etc. Bed was very comfortable with nice quality linens. The location and place were very comfortable, quiet, and relaxing. We will definitely be back!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Maria’s Airbnb. Once we got the fire cranking we were super cozy. Maria’s instructions are easy to follow, the house has plenty of character and is lovely and clean.

Tres agréable logement avec tout ce qu’il faut au niveau équipement. Le lieu est très isolé et avec une très belle vue. Promenade au départ du logement pour aller voir de l’autre côté de la colline, super! Le chemin pour accéder au logement peut sembler un peu particulier et "risquer " mais en fait se fait sans aucune difficulté ( sauf peut-être la 1ère fois de nuit et encore....)

Ivor and Robyn are so lovely. We loved the views and the animals and had a much needed peaceful nights sleep

What a lucky find this is! You instantly feel relaxed as you enter- the smell of the timber, the coziness of the space, a liittle home away from home. The kids love the bunk bed! Everything you need is provided-I love the fact that they use eco-friendly products, and encourage composting/recycling. Both Deborah and Ian have been super helpful, if you do have any questions. Happy to chat with you if you've got the time, and even shared some limes and chilies with us (went great w our ceviche! Thank you!). A great location- short walk to the beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay- it's just what we needed.

Lovely place not far from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The neighbourhood was very quiet. Clare was very helpful.

Lovely place to stay. There was great surrounding places to eat and the beach right there. Rose welcomed us in and made us feel right at home. Would highly recommend as a place to stay.

it's a fantastic, spacious log house built and carefully looked after by the owners, we felt at home right away. Adie was there to help with everything. It's highly recommended!

Beautiful Destination, the host was so kind & welcoming. Lovely homes, set on the lake. Beautiful, clean rooms! we will definitely be coming back one day! Thanks to the incredible crew at the retreat!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment dans cette immense maison, idéale pour un séjour en famille . La vue est exceptionnelle, aussi bien depuis l’intérieur que l’extérieur, avec le lac en toile de fond et de nombreux oiseaux à observer. Le calme est total, c’est vraiment reposant. Tout est parfaitement fonctionnel : nous avons testé le jacuzzi, le wifi, la cheminée et le barbecue, tout était top. Annie est très gentille et attentionnée ; elle avait même préparé la cheminée pour que nous puissions en profiter dès notre arrivée. Nous recommandons ce lieu les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui cherchent un cadre paisible et confortable pour se ressourcer.

We had a fantastic stay. Quiet, peaceful and lovely surroundings. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed the local area. Would definitely recommend.

Easy flexible check-in, and beautiful view of lake Taupo. Loved all the windows letting all the natural light in.

Good place for family

Our stay in Rotorua was great! Nerida has a lovely home with easy access to the pool, restaurant and tennis courts. The views of the lake were stunning and we enjoyed staying here!

Beautiful place. We had Chalet #2 right at the shore of the water. Calm & peaceful. Easy check in and great facilities. Warm spa & pool right outside our Chalet. We enjoyed the calmness & beauty of the place. We will return.

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!
