Pheasant Ridge

JuinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had such a memorable stay at this stunning tiny home in Te Hapua Bay Estate! Nestled right by Lake Taupō with serene lines of pine trees and sweeping farmland views, the setting was nothing short of immaculate, absolutely breathtaking from sunrise to sunset. The home itself was spotless and thoughtfully designed. The heat pump kept us warm and toasty during our winter stay, and all the appliances felt brand new, which made everything from cooking to relaxing effortless. The amenities were super convenient and well-stocked, making us feel right at home. A huge thank you to Sarah, who was a fantastic host—clear directions, fast responses, and genuinely warm communication throughout our stay. One of our favorite highlights was enjoying the BBQ while soaking in the uninterrupted views of the landscape, truly a moment of peace and beauty. Highly recommend this special getaway to anyone wanting comfort, nature, and a little slice of New Zealand magic. We’d come back in a heartbeat.
