Update for those thinking about booking direct during June to get 1 night FREE.

Don’t think too long or you’ll miss out 👀

Have you seen the price of literally EVERYTHING lately 🥹

It’s prompted us to make a questionable financial decision and make a slightly reckless offer…

STAY 3 NIGHTS FOR THE PRICE OF 2 DURING JUNE! Plus no Airbnb fees if you book direct.

Tag your dog loving friends who deserve a break in Taupó. And DM us to book.

Quick.

Before I change my mind 😬




Ps: there will be a couple of T&C’s. We just need to work them out first so standby 🏡

Kowhai Cottage had underfloor insulation installed today so naturally I took a photo to celebrate. *special thanks to ai for giving me the body of a much much younger & slimmer woman without me even asking 🤣

Seriously though…the house feels way warmer! You’re gonna love it 😉

Trigger warning: If you don’t like swearing, you should scroll now.

If you’re still here, May is the quietest month of the year for Airbnb in Taupō so we’re using this time to do some maintenance around the house. Before & Afters incoming..enjoy 😬

I know a video of our sheets hanging on the line will not be lost on some of you 😂 Not gonna lie, I was hoping this storm had missed Taupō. 2 minutes before I recorded this, there was absolutely no breeze whatsoever and then within 5 minutes - BAM💥

Stay safe wherever you are 🫶

While our guests are waking up to a stunning Taupō day in Kowhai Cottage, we woke up to this 😍

This is for the hosts who have stayed with us, follow us, and have commented on our digital guidebook. Stop scrolling and go follow these guys right now because one day soon, you’re going to realise that the house manual you continue to print out on your home printer is..old school & kind of embarrassing 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hand on heart - this is the best decision we have ever made for our Airbnb. No, we aren’t being paid to say this and yes, the cost is extremely reasonable.

Run, don’t walk 🏃‍♀️ InvoGuide

Hello Facebook 👋 if you’re new here, I’m Caro & if I look a little jaded, it’s because I have just added up all the loads of washing I’ve done since October *sigh*

Since October, I’ve washed:
• 120 loads - sheet sets
• 120 loads - duvet covers
• 180 loads - towels 🧺

Pre-soaked, line-dried, folded & ironed — by me. White linen is a serious commitment 🤦🏼‍♀️

The best part of 2025? It’s been our busiest year yet — fully booked through to April since October 😳

Huge thanks to every guest who’s stayed, returned, or treated the place with care ❤️

Thinking about winter or spring? Book early. The washing machine would definitely appreciate the heads-up.

Hey team, it’s been a minute! We’ve been flat out with guests, dogs, laundry, life — you know. Finally coming up for air to share Te Awa Hut, a unique new Airbnb our friends have just opened 20 mins from Opotiki. Nature lovers this is for you 😉
