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….

Kelly’s travels
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.

Wonderful and luxurious
A lovely house with a view to die for. Robyn was very friendly and helpful and makes a wonderful breakfast. Would return without hesitation.
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!
