Above and beyond attention to details, welcome lunch and advice from hosts Steve and Liz made our short stay a great experience. Ernest Kemp steam boat trip across Lake Taupo to Māori carvings a valued trip.
We really enjoyed our sty here. It was very informal and a very unique property.
Very friendly, and breakfast was pleasant. complementary charcuterie board was a really nice touch.
Great location overlooking the lake from an outside balcony.
Lots to see, float planes taking off, parachute planes and free fallers at a distance, boat trips etc can be seen going along the lake.
Not too far from town though absolutely need a vehicle.
Highly recommended
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.
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.
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. Breakfasts were lovely and the special dining provided by Liz was outstanding - thank you so much for making Sue’s special birthday so memorable.
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.
Very nice place to stay , quiet with good parking, comfy room with fantastic views. We dined in on one night and the 4 course meal was excellent, breakfasts were also provided which were very healthy. Liz & Steve are great hosts.
Highly recommend this property
We appreciated the high quality accommodation, the personal touches and very friendly hosts. The view was amazing and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly boutique experience.
The accommodation is superb, in a quiet residential area, yet only an easy 10 minute walk to the nearest shop and restaurant.
Everything about the lodge oozes quality, from the decor to the sumptuous bedroom. Liz, the owner is lovely, and was very helpful.
Our room (3) has a fantastic view of the lake with a great veranda. Breakfast was delicious, granola, fresh fruits and yoghurt in individual pots. Followed by toast, croissants, orange juice and coffee.
In our room was a welcome platter, with 3 different cheese, cooked meat, hummus, various pickle, grapes and crackers. In addition there was a fruit and nut mixture, chocolate bars and water.
