Robin was an amazing host and we loved her beautiful property and hospitality! She was accommodating and helpful with recommendations and directions. Only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! Highly recommended!
A beautiful place to stay. The name Serenity describes this B&B perfectly. The room was perfect with spectacular lake views. Breakfast was wonderful. Robin is very knowledgeable and a great host! Wish we had booked for several nights….

This was an elegant & beautiful place. Our host was friendly & so accommodating. The view from our deck was breathtaking. Wish we stayed longer.
The view was absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful spot. Loved sitting on the deck and taking it all in. The host was great and made a fantastic breakfast. Would definitely recommend!
Were welcomed by Robyn and shown our room and all about our stay. Then sent out on back deck and were greeted with spectactacular garden and lake views. Back deck a great pace to sit and enjoy Taupo and the lake. Robyn made sure we had everything we needed down to cushions for chairs and rugs to keep us warm. Next morning she made us a wonderful cooked breakfast and fresh fruit and yoghurt. A wonderful relaxing stay
You cannot deny the view.
Pleasant room with a turn down service (was a surprise to see the mints after being out for dinner).
Hostess is full of knowledge and happy to talk about local attractions/ food opportunities.
Note: No TV in room for the night owls after partners go to sleep, so keep that phone charged.
The perfect choice if you want to stay in Taupo or anywhere nearby. Robyn is a fantastic host, the property is spotless and so nicely arranged. Her breakfast was amazing and her recommendations for our time in Taupo were great. Highly recommend!

First rate B&B
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay at this B&B. In keeper Robin is a wonderful hostess. The accommodations are tasteful and impeccably clean with a number of well thought out touches that many in-keepers do not consider such as robes, fridge, kettle. The bed was very comfortable which we consider a very important consideration. Throughout our many world wide travels we have found saggy mattresses, lumpy pillows and shabby bed linens are more the norm than the exception therefore it was a real treat to enjoy an above average bed experience. The B&B is located in a very quiet, residential area with an amazing view of lake Talpo. The large decks set in a pretty garden provide a wonderful place to relax while taking in the panoramic view. Robin provides an outstanding breakfast. We would like to point out to guests that the town is about a 10 minute drive from the B&B. There are a number of places to dine in town. However we found the B&B so inviting that we enjoyed many quiet hours on the decks and would like to suggest that guests who want to luxuriate on the deck pick up some food and beverages. As a side note, the star gazing is magnificent.
Very beautiful location. Host very welcoming and helpful. Excellent breakfast. The rooms are lacking of a place to put the luggage, we had to use the floor. Getting out of the parking could also be a problem if other cars are parked. The view are great and everything is impeccable
The moment we walked into this property it exceeded our expectations. Robyn the lady who ran it was just wonderful and nothing was we asked was a problem. The view was just spectacular. If you want a very private place to stay with a view this is the property for you.
