Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Taupo

This is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. We encountered a tricky situation, and the host set off from Auckland at 1 AM to help us. This was my parents’ first trip to New Zealand, and the experience left them with a great impression and deep gratitude. I highly recommend this place—you’ll get an amazing house with convenient access to many attractions.

Lovely view, big house, kitchen has everything you need. Nice being able to walk the paddocks with the kids.

Cute, clean and comfortable! Had a great stay, as did the doggo! 🐶

Good location. Well-equipped with heaters for the cold. Fast response from host.

Loved the homeliness of this place, was comfortable and cosy. Particularly loved the environment, quiet and peaceful and close to the lake and river walks.

Very comfortable and beautiful home in a safe spot close to town. Had everything I need for a very comfortable stay.

Lovely place in Taupō, and dog friendly! It was super spacious, with a kitchen/lounge and separate bedroom and bathroom, and the heatpump made it super cozy on a very cold night. Clear instructions on how to get in, Deborah was friendly and easy to contact when we needed. We will definitely be back, thank you!

We loved this place. Great living area for socialising, well equipped kitchen, showers had awesome water pressure, several lovely areas to sit outdoors. Perfect for our family get together with some of us staying onsite and others in the town centre. And later some items we'd left behind were returned to us which we were grateful for.

Spacious but intimate at the same time. The pool & spa was a luxury. Te Whio Retreat will be among our favorite top 5 Air bnb places in the north island. The retreat offers a private home away from home close enough to everything in turangi. Beautifully presented warm home. Large master bedroom with enough space for our baby to run around in his walker while we got ready in the ensuit. x3 showers with great pressure and heat, all able to be used at the same time. The backyard was enough room for our adult husky, fencing was high and kept her well enclosed and private from view of strangers if they were to approach the property. This home is situated in the rear end of a shared driveway, allowing for maximum privacy from public view. the two neighbouring properties on both sides of Te whio are also Airbnb/holiday homes and we're empty during our time at Te whio, we didn't have to worry about our kids causing "too much noise" whilst they made the most of the pool & us the spa.

Despite an initial hiccup, we had a fantastic time at Tracy and Damien’s home. Tracy was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay and will hopefully return to stay here again!

When we opened the front door, we were amazed by the how close we were to the lake. We were thankful to have a grey, cold day…to light the fire, make a cuppa and watch the world go by outside. We woke to the sound of wind and when we looked out the bedroom windows, the ducks were riding the white caps on the lake. Do yourself a favour and book more than one night…it’s the perfect place to unwind

Lovely house, situated right next to Taupo lake and super nice view in good weather, what a pity that it was raining for the 2 days during our stay. Clean and cozy, we enjoyed the stay.

Everything was exactly as expected. The beds were super comfy and I still can’t believe how quiet it was!

Was everything our team needed, close to town (walkable), clean and clutter free. We will check to see if your BnB is available when we return to Taupo to work. Great shower and comfortable beds.

Love the retreat. The hosts were extremely kind & accomodating and the house was absolutely beautifully clean. It’s a bonus we could take our dogs, they loved the lake!

Mike and Amy were outstandingly friendly and helpful. Our late arrival wasn’t an issue and they were there to welcome us with the key to save our search in the dark. Amazing lakeside spot.

A great old school kiwi bach. Close to Two Mile Bay. Super easy and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks

Great location, super tidy place with heaps of space. Tony was great as well, very easy to communicate with

Great bach in Acacia Bay! Really conveniently located to the local restaurant and four square. And just a lovely retro vibe. Great for any kind of holiday! David also posted us back a charger which was very helpful!

This was perfect for us! Fully fenced enough for two pups to do zoomies and walking distance to amenities. Would definitely use Toms place again if we are heading down.

"Home away from home". We felt very well there, the place is perfectly settled and very well equiped with all the confort and modern equipment provided. Carty and Sher are very welcoming, very helpful with advises on Turangi activités. Thumbs up 👍 Breakfast was kindly offered by the hosts, fresh milk, fresh orange juice, excellent honey, peanut butter, bread and croissants provided 🥰 Many thanks 👍🙏 See you next time for a trout fishing session 😃

We had a lovely stay in Taupō and the location was perfect! Very helpful hosts with an amazing space! Our dog (baby) Moko had a great stay as well! Totally recommend!

I had a lovely stay at Chrystal’s - warm, cosy and quiet. Chrystal was exceptional with communication! Appreciate the thoughtfulness of having the heater and light on for my late check in, as well as a little sweet treat. Wilo the cat deserves a special mention - he was a very welcoming host and made sure I felt right at home. As for the space, exactly as described. While small it definitely didn’t feel cramped at all, it was great! Might be an odd thing to say, but the bedding made it feel really homely - not the typical clinical white sheets, but cosy colourful duvet and plenty of pillows. So happy that there was an electric blanket, plus there was an extra blanket if I needed it. Didn’t use the shower but bathroom was immaculate, plenty of towels if needed. Will definitely stay here again if I’m ever back in Taupō!

The place very nice as described, easy access . My dog loved the back yard . Everything was provided . It felt like home Must recommended, would love to visit this place again . So generous to allow pets ❤️ It was very close to Tongariro river tracks
