Maewa “This property was to die for!”
! The view of the lake, capacity that the house held and also the outside areas (such as the balcony and backyard) were perfect for our stay. Would definitely recommend this house to others or come back for another stay!!

Lovely views of the lake.

James “Had a great stay in Acacia Bay.”
Such a lovely home and even better location. Planned to stay at a different place in Acacia Bay but it got booked so we decided to stay here instead, and im thrilled that the other place had been booked because this place was perfect for us! Huge living area for everyone to hang out in. Great sized bedrooms for everyone. Couldnt have asked for a better location, quick drive to town and small walk down to the like. House was also nice and warm when we arrived which was a nice. Highly recommend. Thanks for having us!
- James, June 2020Hine-A-Rangi “Great location to stay, especially with a big group.”
The tv was ok. But the dads in the house said it could have been bigger. But the views were perfect for an evening wind down with a glass of wine.
- Hine-A-Rangi, September 2022Paul “Beautiful views.”
Exactly the right size for our two families. Just a little tricky working out the oven, but other than that, great. Downstairs a little cooler but the heating and electric blankets made it cosy. Will be coming back again.
- Paul, October 2022Geoffrey “Nice many-bedroom place in Taupo.”
Given it had 6 bedrooms, there was still plenty of space given to the kitchen and lounge. The listing on Book-a-Bach had a few issues displaying the number of bedrooms correctly.
- Geoffrey, November 2022Noeleen “We will definitely stay here again.”
Very clean and tidy and enough room for a group of friends. We liked the location away from the huddle and bustle of the town.
- Noeleen, December 2022Carmel “This is an excellent house in terms of space and location.”
We loved it! If you are a foodie, you must take your knives, boards and serving utensils. The house sleeps twelve but there was not enough cutlery. The dishwasher was a bitch to run including the hot plate. It would have been great if the bottom oven could have been clean and there was some regular dishwashing liquid. We bought our own and left it for the next person. It's a great place; regardless of what I have mentioned, we would Come back!
- Carmel, December 2022Allly “This was a awesome place for us all we will be back soon”
- Allly, November 2019Peter “Great place to stay.”
- Peter, October 2019Vanessa “Lovely house with heaps of room.”
Would like to rebook for the same weekend next year :)
- Vanessa, March 2023Chanchal “BETTER THAN PHOTOS We stay there for 4 nights 3 families plenty of space for everyone.”
We all enjoyed ourselves a lot. Nice location. First-time seen reality is much better than shown photos. The team bachcare looks after very well this property. Some drawbacks but those are minors easily find in busy properties. An awsome stay will come back when we can.
- Chanchal, April 2023Suzanne “Such a great sized property which accommodated us 10 adults and 2 kids perfectly.”
The heatpump was on when we arrived so the house was nice and toasty. Great location and only a short walk to the water and playground. The only thing we couldn't seem to find was a broom which could be handy. One of the kids accidentally put a small marker stain on the carpet. It was waterproof but we couldn't 100% get this out. So very sorry, please contact me if you need to.
- Suzanne, July 2023michael “Lovely property, Fully equipped kitchen & interiors are very clean and well maintained, Had more than enough rooms for a large group.”
Had a wonderful stay.
- michael, July 2019Noeleen “The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes this time, (there may have been a problem with how to work the dishwasher because we struggled too) the BBQ wasn't cleaned, the bathroom ceilings could be wiped more frequently to preserve the ceiling for longer as the property is older, the kitchen could do with a pyrex measuring jug/jugs and mixing bowls.”
It was great having the linen. It felt top quality. The folded facecloths and towel placement was a lovely touch. Overall the property is very clean and tidy. Thank you.
- Noeleen, November 2023Shirley “We had a fantastic stay.”
Thank-you so much. Family loved the space, games and property was warm, cosy and relaxing would definitely book again.
- Shirley, May 2019Tricia “Fantastic house!”
Fantastic location! Well equipped and suitable for young children. House is ideal for a big group and has plenty of space for everyone. We found a gorgeous beach just a minute's drive away.
- Tricia, April 2019Eileen “Great house for our extended family holiday.”
Enough rooms and beds to cater for us all. Close to various holiday attractions, with the bonus of the Art Weekend trail when we were there.
- Eileen, May 2024Romauld “It's a beautiful house that's well equipped and close to all amenities.”
Views are stunning and the house is warm and comfortable.
- Romauld, September 2020Linda “Great house for a big group, great views of the lake, warm and comfy”
- Linda, September 2019Samantha “Was a nice stay.”
Lovely to have the whole family together in one place. The view was amazing. A little bit pricey for the costs of cleaning and linen but overal, a good stay.
- Samantha, September 2019Thank you for your feedback! We like our guests to have all the information upfront, so we do show the cleaning and linen prices before you make your booking. It's great to hear you had such a good stay, and couldn't agree more about the beautiful view! Bachcare
Leonie “Lovely property overall for accommodating a big group.”
Lovely location.
- Leonie, June 2020Gaynor “Excellent accommodation, spotlessly clean and very warm.”
- Gaynor, September 2020Dale “An ideal venue for a larger family group for a few days.”
Has quality linen etc, and an extra double bed since our previous visit was appreciated. Lake views are gradually receding with tree growth, but still a pleasant outlook and location.
- Dale, February 2019We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Acacia Bay Getaway Dale - the owner has had the trees trimmed right back so now you can see the lake nice and clearly once again! Bachcare
Rahul “Overall very tidy and convenient location.”
The amenities were more than sufficient but the house being old creeks a bit and disturbs the folks sleeoing downstairs
- Rahul, January 2021Shelley “Lovely place, very clean & tidy and accommodating with the comforts of home.”
Only downfall was the knives draw is hidden above the cutlery draw and not obvious, however Kim, the property manager was very responsive when we asked after them. Also a great location with a short drive into town and the swimming area is just down the road. Easy living as a home away from home and a lovely stay for the whole family. We will definately stay there again if returning to holiday in Taupo.
- Shelley, January 2021Brendan “Great location and great views.”
All the usual ammenities provided and more. Good for a family getaway. A bit tired and needs a deep clean at some point but would stay again.
- Brendan, April 2021Nicola “We really enjoyed our stay at the house.”
It’s very roomy, perfect for 2 families. Some maintenance needs to be carried out as windows are older however overall for a batch stay it was great. The location in Acacia bay is perfect for boating, swimming etc and the park is awesome for kids just around the corner. Would stay again - thanks.
- Nicola, January 2023Amanda “We had a fantastic stay at this house.”
It easily accommodate our large group with lots of bedrooms and living spaces. Well equipped kitchen with everything we needed. I’d only mention that it was difficult to find some things (a hidden sharp knife drawer) and there weren’t enough knives for all of us. Great location and overall lovely stay.
- Amanda, January 2023Jayne “Overall a beautiful house with fantastic views from the bedroom and lounge area over Lake Taupo.”
Lovely gardens were well maintained too. Big living area and great size for larger groups of people. Liked the location to Taupo and handy bistro or takeout pizza and shops within walking distance or short drive to fish n chips and asian food if you don't want to cook. The house was warm and there was plenty of space to spread out for different age groups. Tiny television in the lounge, but we were only there for a short time and tv wasn't on the agenda. Attention is required to some minor maintenance of the property to make it more comfortable as it was the little things that were a bit annoying. Fridge needs resealing so the door doesn't randomly open. The circuit tripped leaving the fridge defrosted and water all over the floor. There was no door handle in the bathroom downstairs and one of the guests got locked in. The kitchen tap in downstairs kitchenette was not fixed and came away from the bench when turned on. The hot water jug upstairs needs replacing as the switch turned itself on and off randomly and we had to hold it down to get it working for a cup of tea. The mirrors in bedroom and bathrooms need to be hung on the wall too.
- Jayne, April 2023Thank you for your feedback on the maintenance that is required at the property Jayne. We are discussing this with the property owners and working hard on improvements to ensure this home continues to offer an amazing experience to our guests. We are pleased you had a lovely stay aside from these maintenance issues and hope to host you again soon. Bachcare
Mary “Plenty of space at this holiday house, and easily fitted our family of eight.”
Well equipped kitchen. Couldn't find any spare bedding for extra warmth in any of the cupboards though.
- Mary, May 2023Merv “Accommodated 8 adults and 3 youngsters very well.”
Great views and parking. Filled all our requirements. Garage door didn't open properly
- Merv, October 2023Jenni “Lovely house in a great location.”
A short walk to the lake and lovely swimming. Plenty of space for everyone. The only are for improvement is the BBQ.. it was out of gas but that was quickly rectified by Bachcare, but the bBQ itself isn’t great.. it may be blocked.
- Jenni, January 2024sue “Great place for up to 12 people.”
Lots of room & kitchen well stocked with equipment. Short walk to lake for a swim, lovely safe cove if you have little ones with you. Lovely view. Beds comfortable. Being an older house the upstairs floor creaks, not so good for those downstairs. Lots of car parking spaces. Very clean inside, dated & lacking care outside, needs a lot of TLC.
- sue, November 2021Alan “We got off to a bad start with the cleaners not arriving to clean after the previous renter until 7.”
30pm. The house suited our group really well with the number and configuration of the rooms. Good wifi and heat pumps upstairs. The downstairs rooms were cold even with the heaters going in the rooms. It was a cold weekend in Taupo. The house needs a little TLC as the bathroom had mould on the walls and ceiling and several light bulbs didn’t work.
- Alan, July 2022Thank you for providing this feedback and we are sincerely sorry that the property was not quite ready on arrival. We are delighted that the property did suit your needs and will address the issues raised. Bachcare
Grant “We were disappointed about the standard of cleanliness and maintenance of ...”
We were disappointed about the standard of cleanliness and maintenance of property eg handles falling off doors shelves loose equipment not working
- Grant, February 2024Nikki “Have also emailed the property owner with no response after 24 hours.”
The house is dirty and had mould in nearly every room on windows doors curtains walls skirting boards roofs and aluminum joinery. The grounds are very over grown with weeds everywhere and mountian piles of leaves that needed to be taken care of. (Does not look like the pictures!) The carpet is not safe on the stairs as the carpet tacks are sticking out all along them. The same issue at the breakfast bar along to the kitchen entrance and in the bottom bedroom on the join that the carpet meets the tiles to the kitchenette. Toilet roll holders were on the ground not attached to the wall. The bbq is rusty and dirty with a near empty gas bottle. Just not usable There was one rubbish bag and a note on the bin not to use it. The house was not at a clean standard. The window's were dirty which ruined the view of the lake and there was cobwebs inside and out everywhere. There was dead insects on the window sills that have been there some time. The location was amazing for where we wanted to be but the lack of cleanliness and hygienic/saftey standards was a 1 out of 10. Extreemly disappointed as we were going to book again for February but I will not be booking this home again! Very disappointed.
- Nikki, November 2024Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced. We are very sorry for the poor cleanliness and maintenance standards you encountered; this is not what we aim to provide. We take your concerns seriously and will take immediate action to address the mould, safety issues with the carpet, and other maintenance problems. We’ll also ensure a thorough cleaning and review the property's condition to prevent this in the future. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use your feedback to make improvements. Kind regards, Bachcare
