Venus 
“Great for large families.”
Disappointed by the cleanliness of the home. Cobwebs, dirty windows, filfy bbq etc. I asked for a refund due to the fact i spend hours sweeping cobwebs off the cottage & house, plus cleaning windows. River great for kids to swim. in (supervised). Spa a bonus.

- Jamila, December 2023Henriette “Everything was very clean.”
Loved the big space at the back and the nature. Kids played for hours. Thank you
- Henriette, October 2023Corlia “What an amazing time we had!”
We had our own, private botanical garden, with access to the river. Daily soaks in the spa pool - burgers on the grill - luxurious bedding and fully equipped kitchens; Smart TV, VCR player with amazing movie selection and mini sound system - we didn't NEED to go anywhere to have a great time.
- Corlia, October 2023Amy “Awesome property.”
Absolutely beautiful grounds and so warm and cosy inside. Would love another visit!
- Amy, August 2023Kathleen “We loved the place overall .”
But my mum had a nasty fall - she slipped getting out of the spa pool due to the deck being extremely slippy and no steps in or out of the pool . The children all slipped over and my self ( luckily without injury) we did call and inform bachcsre of this but I thought we might have had follow up. My mum actually had to go A&E for X-ray . It wasnât broken but it as slightly dislocated sbd she had to travel back to the uk (36 hours ) in extreme pain
- Kathleen, June 2023We are so very sorry to hear of this and will be addressing this as a matter of urgency. Bachcare
Diane “We had a wonderful stay at the property, it was spacious and warm, with heaters in every room plus a lovely wood fire in the kitchen diner.”
The grounds are beautiful even in winter. Having a second kitchen area with fridge in the main house was a bonus. The cottage was bigger than I thought and very roomy allowing couples their own chill out space. We would definitely return
- Diane, June 2023Cinde “Absolutely beautiful place.”
We enjoyed every minute of staying there and will certainly book again.
- Cinde, September 2022Lauren “Was a lovely, private, quiet place to stay!”
Ideal for couples, groups and families. Would be lovely in the warmer weather, but still enjoyed our winter stay. Plenty of space.
- Lauren, July 2022Michelle “Amazing house to stay in when you have extended family.”
Everyone had their own space to retreat to if needed. Easy access to the water which was needed on the hot days. The garden was spectacular. We will be back.

- Ross, January 2022Rohan “This property offers everything that you need for a perfect holiday.”
Comfortable rooms, lounge and dual kitchen for different areas of the house and stunning views from the rooms. It's a secured property and children friendly. Spa pool is the striking feature of the stay. Highly recommended if holidaying with couple of families.
- Rohan, January 2022Bruna “Loved the house!”
Me and my friends enjoyed so much the house and the lake. We loved it!
- Bruna, December 2021David “Fabulous property - heaps of room for our large family, nice big grounds and the spa was a bonus!”
Would recommend this as a great quiet getaway close enough to Taupo but far enough away too.

The,whole section was amazing with the bush, lawns and the feeling when you step outside on the deck it's so peaceful and beautiful looking out over the back section
- John, September 2021Judith “Absolutely lovely place to stay for a family get together, well set up and furnished, has a spa although we didn't use it for our stay.”
Everything I could think of is provided - would happily stay again.
- Judith, July 2021Joanna “We absolutely loved the stay!”
Such a beautiful homely environment which we would highly recommend. High standard furnishings and on arrival lovely and warm. Hot tub looking out onto the grounds was an added bonus which we very much enjoyed! Thank you

The property
Down a long, tree-lined driveway in the Broadlands Forest lies a hidden retreat, nestled on an expanse of land right on the banks of the mighty Waikato River - welcome to River Lookout Lodge. From the moment you turn into the driveway and approach this stunning property youâll immediately feel on holiday. Beautifully manicured gardens lead you to the front door, welcoming you into a home where sophisticated styling meets cosy comfort; a match made in heaven. The light and bright living room here at River Lookout Lodge features large sliding glass doors, creating that all important indoor-outdoor flow. Sit back and relax with a book, watch your favourite TV show, or stay connected with the complimentary WIFI. A breeze flowing through will keep you comfortably cool on those hot summer days, while the heat pump and fireplace will ensure youâre toasty warm come winter. The fully equipped kitchen with its gorgeous vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and modern design will be the hub for your family or friends to gather here at River Lookout Lodge. Wake in the morning to a freshly brewed coffee from the Nespresso machine and perch yourself at the breakfast bar. Or, spark up the BBQ and lay out a beautiful spread of food on the indoor or outdoor dining table and enjoy a meal together. At the end of the feast, let the dishwasher do the hard work and pour yourself a drink. Itâs time to take a dip in the hot-tub, and marvel at the views out over the leafy green yard down toward the river. Lay your head in comfort each night in one of the four bedrooms here at River Lookout Lodge. The master bedroom is truly a sight to be seen, with its huge picture window and luxurious leather chairs that will have you basking in the sunshine, getting lost in the view for hours. The main house here at River Lookout Lodge is complemented by a self-contained cottage, which retains much of its architectural heritage with pops of the same modern styling of the house. A cosy lounge, fully equipped kitchen, bedroom, and full bathroom offer everything a couple or teenage family member would need for a private space to call their own. Located less than 20 minutes drive north of Taupo, River Lookout Lodge is an ideal spot to enjoy everything the lakeside town has to offer, while still enjoying a little slice of quiet, riverside paradise. Release your worries down the Waikato on your next holiday, and let River Lookout Lodge do the rest.
