I don't have words to express our gratitude for an absolutely wonderful stay. The hospitality, scrumptious breakfast and great attention to detail are beyond our expectations. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house. We will be back!

Luxurious, opulent, relaxing and worth every penny. An amazing stay, with absolutely stunning decor. Pillows and beds were very comfortable and luxurious. The hosts went above and beyond, without invading your space. Outside spa was super relaxing, whilst drinking complementary wine. We loved EVERYTHING.

The main question to answer when reviewing any hotel is “would I stay there again?” - in the case of The Flying Trout Lodge - my answer is ABSOLUTELY! We enjoyed genuinely warm hospitality from our lovely hosts, and loved the luxurious glamour evident in every thoughtful detail of this beautiful property - from the furnishings, cutlery, extremely comfortable bedding (and even our own private spa pool in the Kiwi Suite) with breath taking views, absolute peace and quiet, and an adorable Bessie to cuddle. Stunning roses, tennis court, privacy and far more “soul” than the places we usually stay in Taupo! I’d highly recommend this wonderful accommodation and experience - the only thing we will do differently next visit is to stay longer!

If your looking for that honeymoon place, stay here. I mentioned it a few times ... I felt like a QUEEN and my husband was the KING. Such an ELEGANT grande place. We absolutely enjoyed everything you had to offer. Food, the views, tennis, all the beautiful amenities AND shared your animals with us. Thank you both Rob & Karen.

Of the many places that label themselves as luxurious places to stay, this truly deserves the title. Every nook and cranny is tastefully decorated, the room we stayed in was exquisite. There was nothing in there that could have been improved. Perfecto! The hosts were lovely, warm, welcoming people and made us feel at home. You would be thoroughly blessed to stay here.

What a fantastic spot away from the bustle of Taupo but with fabulous views of the lake. Wonderful hosts and accommodation and the perfect stop between Auckland & Hawkes Bay.
