8/10 Very good

Beautiful home, Liz and Steve were great hosts. Perfect recommendations for dinner, awesome breakfast and great snacks provided while we enjoyed an evening on the balcony. Room 3's bed is a bit firm, but otherwise perfect.

Quick overnight stay
Very pleasant surroundings, with great view. We brought our own “adult beverages”, but noticed it would have been nice if the prices of the wines optional to purchase had prices on them. Also we don’t do continental breakfast, my other half is a bacon and eggs man, so it would have been nice if that was an option at either a reduced rate or substitute a bottle of wine ;-) The cheese , crackers and fruit was nice as we usually bring our own, but had expected those after reading prior reviews. Had to call for directions as GPS said to turn left on a road that was just before the correct entrance. Liz was very helpful in steering us in the correct direction. Anything anyone may have wanted or forgotten was available, quite impressed by all the wee details. Even had milk in the fridge for my tea. If you do care for continental breakfast, it was between 07:30 -10:00. I routinely wake about 05:00 am, so hard not to make too much noise when other guests are sleeping. Enjoyable for a one night stay. Thanks, Steve and Liz

The property is lovely, well appointed, with great views of the lake and gardens. We really enjoyed having wine and the charcuterie board on the balcony. Great way to start our stay. Steve was a super host and we were disappointed not to meet Liz. So many lovely extra touches, they really thought about every detail.

8/10 Very good

A really beautiful property, with lots of charm and stunning views from the rooms over Lake Taupo. Couldn't fault anything about this place, although the breakfast that a lot of people mention we weren't impressed by (basically toast, croissant and yoghurt; no eggs or anything cooked). Lovely place for a getaway and easy (10 mins drive) into Taupo.

We stayed at Steve and Liz's beautiful B & B for 7 nights while in Taupo for Ironman 70.3 World Championships. We loved the homey atmosphere and Liz and Steve could not have been more welcoming, gracious and helpful. From providing a secure place to store my bike to the welcome charcuterie plate to yummy breakfasts every morning to providing fresh towels and and an immaculate room daily, we really felt like Belle Vue was our home away from home. And the view of the lake from the balcony! Our hosts even made signs for the racers to wish them luck and welcome them back from the race and showed up on the sidelines to cheer us on! Can't recommend this home highly enough :-)

Belle vue Boutique Lodge is a cute and cosy lodge, with stunning lake views. Liz and Steve are fantastic hosts who have thought of everything! We only stayed one night due to itinerary restrictions, but will definitely be coming back when we are next visiting. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beware - Do not book this place
Beware of booking this property. Not friendly people. A couple run this place and we were running late for check in due to our flight that landed in Auckland later and some of our activities needed to be delayed because of that. We called them in the afternoon asking if it’s okay to come in later due to our delayed flight and activities and the lady said that’s fine, you can come in later in the night. The guy who runs this place later texts us in the evening saying - we cannot honor your reservation, don’t come. This was such last minute for us that we had difficulty finding reservation elsewhere. I would definitely recommend you never to book this place as the people who manage it are not professional, do not honor their words

The owners were so accommodating and the property is spectacular! We were greeted with a complimentary cheese board and enjoyed a bottle of wine on our private balcony that over looked the bay. Our room was clean, quiet, and full of character. Breakfast in the morning was perfect! We loved our experience, partially because of how knowledgeable and kind the owners were. The property is only a 5 min drive into town. I would highly recommend this stay to any couple that wants some serenity and character to their stay.

A wonderful boutique hotel - Liz and Steve are consummate professionals , attending to all of the small details efficiently and discreetly. The hotel facilities and gardens are outstanding.

Wow! What a beautiful place to stay. Steve and Liz are fantastic hosts. Their home has so much charm and character, we knew we were in the right place as we walked through the front door. So much thought was put into this boutique and it shows. Breakfast was delicious, fresh juice, pressed coffee, fruits and the decor with beautiful views of the lake from our breakfast table. The bedroom and bathroom were a step back in time, done to perfection. My head hit the pillows and I was out like a light, peace and quiet. My wife and I went just down the street to the local pub called The Bay. What a compliment to our stay. I wish we could have stayed couple more days. Thanks again Liz.
