The cabin is cozy, clean, and tidy. You can tell the host put a lot of thought into the details—like the comfortable bedding, the extra pillows and blankets, the small but well-organized and functional kitchen, the umbrellas by the door, and the little snacks left for guests. The shower in the bathroom had great water temperature and pressure too. Every aspect made us feel as comfortable as being at home. It's great for families and is by far our favorite Booking stay on this trip.

The Nest was in a beautiful location overlooking Lake Taupo - what a view! The apartment was lovely - everything was perfect, really comfortable and completely private. Communication was excellent. Highly recommended.
