“We have absolutely loved our three days with you and a huge thank you to Gary, Shirley and Chris, and all the staff, for making the Lodge such a wonderful place to stay. Your passion to host and make people feel at home is very engaging, and the family feel of home is so special. We hope to be back for a longer stay in the future, so many thanks again and all our best wishes. Wikkor and Carol x”

“A huge thank you to Gary, Shirley and Chris for making our stay at Lake Taupo Lodge so memorable. Everything about our stay (whilst too brief) was perfect, and we really enjoyed our drink at the bar with you Gary (and Alan and Shirley) talking about all of your sailing adventures. Take care. Charlie and Charlotte x”

Wow! What an incredible place. Felt like home the minute we walked in.

"Gary, what a magical interlude we’ve enjoyed at your lake retreat. You and Shirley are such warm hosts and Chris is a wizard in the kitchen. We especially loved what Chris did with Gary’s trout and we can’t forget Baxter and Zoe, fluffy companions to those 3 lovely felines."
