The owners were very friendly and remembered us from our previous visit. We had a lake end apartment which was lovely and warm, had great views and had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again

It has taken me far too long to write this review after our lovely stay at the cottage mews.
The owners are so friendly and welcoming and the rooms were comfortable and perfect for us as a family.
Unfortunately the weather was not the best and we found the rooms very warm and cosy to be in when stuck inside...

Great that you made the most of Taupo activities in spite of the January weather. Thank you for taking time to review us - we look forward to seeing you next time.

We were in unit 9 on the end looking out over the lake, a split level unit with the living area upstairs including a balcony. Good free Wi-fi. The spa bath in the bedroom was novel but great fun. Units are a little dated,but very clean and extremly well equiped. The lake is 30 secs away. We had planned 2...

Thanks for taking time to review us. We would love to have had you stay another couple of nights - Taupo is a good base for exploring - there's lots to see within a couple of hours drive. Your lake-end apartment will close for a bit after Queen's Birthday for refurbishment. Paint and paper ready to go, new bathroom, carpet...

We arrived in Taupo in the rain - and it didn't stop - so thank goodness we had a room at Cottage Mews. Yes, it's a bit dated, but what it lacks in high end mod cons it makes up for in charm and service. The split-level accommodation had a bathroom, comfy bed and spa bath and shower downstairs and...

Thanks for your review. We'll be refurbishing the lake-end apartments over winter - lots of painting and papering ahead. Laura Ashley will still be here at Cottage Mews, just not in so many varieties! All the best for the next 25. Loved your Franz Josef story!

We had a lovely view of the lake facing south,also the mountains, from an upstairs unit.2 story unit.Living upstairs.Only 2 armchairs there & not very comfortable.A couch would have been nice.Great spa bath.Unit a little tired,but very clean.30 secs to beach.Very friendly people.
Went to Taupo, and planned to check few motels by myself before deciding which one to book. (of course checked tripadvisor's review the day before). Reached Taupo and found this cottage first. I went in and asked for available room. The one facing Lake was all occupied. The guy (Terry) said he got another available room, but only garden view......

We had a studio on the ground floor with a delightful small courtyard which was a real suntrap. The self-catering facilities were good for making breakfast etc. The location was excellent - right by the lake with a walking path and close enough to Taupo for essentials without being right in the town. Pub and a fish and chip shop...

Good solid accommodation at a good price. Nice friendly staff and very accommodating. Right on the lake - but very few units (if any) with lake views. Great price for the room size and location.
This isn't the first time we've stayed here and I'm sure it won't be the last. The decor is a little dated but who cares when the place is as clean and as tidy as it is. We got upgraded to a family suite with master bed, toilet & spa bath upstairs, and kitchen, bathroom & lounge downstairs.
Great having...
