The view of the lake from the room is stunning! The room is also well laid out with two little nooks to sit and have tea and enjoy the view, as well as the bed facing the windows so you wake up to a view of the lake. It's also very clean and tastefully decorated. The hosts are very accommodating and helpful: they suggested us dinner options, a nice hike along the lake, and let us wash our clothes in their laundry machine. Also, the dogs are very cute.

We loved every aspect of our stay at Hilltop Whakaipo. The place was comfy, nice, and clean. The breakfast was great as well as the hosts. We were fortunate to have some morning tour around the farm and it was a lifetime experience too as someone who grows up and lives in city. I would recommend this place for everyone who are planning a trip to Lake Taupo. Although it’s a bit far from the downtown, close enough to enjoy a scenic drive and you will enjoy the view of Lake Taupo from distance too.

Loved everything about Stay Taupo from the minute we stepped into the beautiful sunken garden where we had afternoon tea - delicious Christmas cake & Nespresso coffee. Immaculate & spacious room with ensuite. Great shower. We enjoyed the extra treats of cookies, chocolates, nuts & cherries in the room. Ken & Marie were exceptional, highly attentive, and welcoming hosts and we had a great conversation with them after breakfast. They also cooked perfect poached eggs & crispy bacon.
