My wife and I spent just over four weeks in New Zealand and stayed mostly in Lodges and B & B’s, all of which were exceptionally good. The Tauhara Sunrise is more like staying in a homely lodge than a B&B, a spacious bedroom, use of a very nice living room, very nice dining facilities and wonderful host, Becky –... More

We were thrilled to win a night at this luxury B&B and were not disappointed. Rob & Becky made sure we enjoyed our experience with wine, dining and song all laid on. The facilities are first class, from the comfortable private rooms to the stylish guests' communal areas. I enjoyed a pre-dinner massage and a spa. With stunning views, wonderful... More

Tauhara Sunrise is a very special B&B. Becky and Rob are great hosts, the rooms and facilities are superb, breakfasts are great, and they even arranged a dinner for all their guests on one of the evenings we were there. We were also invited for cocktails each evening and really felt part of the family. Acacia Bay is also a... More

My new wife and I enjoyed 3 fantastic days staying in the Chalet d'Amour. The views were spectacular and the room well presented. Becky, the host put on amazing breakfasts and happy hour drinks and nibbles each night. The memory foam topped mattress made for a super comfy sleep. It was very peaceful, just what we needed after a hectic... More

We have just got back home having spent five memorable days at this Lodge just outside Taupo. With a great view over the lake, easy access to a lovely brasserie in nearby Acacia Bay, and hosts who are determined to make the stay as "homely" as possible, it was ideal. Happy Hour every evening, with wine and canapes supplied by... More

As a norm we never choose quest house stays as we like our privacy. Well to our surprise we had a fantastic time sitting by the fire drinking wine and sharing stories. What a lovely stay with panoramic views. We relaxed and enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality so much. All the extra treats is something we will not forget. I... More

We only stayed one night at Tauhara Sunrise, but felt we knew Becky and Rob as old time friends. Their fabulous home overlooking Lake Taupo was shear heaven. We enjoyed the sunshine and views so much, we decided to make this one of our "relax" days on our trip. With a bottle of wine in hand, complimentary wifi to help... More

My husband had chosen 'Tauhara Sunrise' as a surprise for my birthday, and when we arrived Becky had upgraded us to the Chalet d'Amour - it was breathtaking! Not only were we given a warm and genuine welcome, but Becky had also organised a beautiful bouquet of flowers for us. The view from the chalet was stunning, and to top... More
