Peter and Michel were fantastic hosts and made us feel really welcomed. Amazing views, gorgeous room and great home cooked breakfast. Getting to feed the deer and sheep was an added bonus and we also got to play with their lovely labs. Cannot recommend enough!

We read all of the reviews about this property before we booked in 2021 and even through we had to cancel our trip then due to Covid we rebooked for 2024 and we were so glad that we did. This has to be one of our favourite B&B we have ever stayed in. From the initial welcome to the final goodbye we were treated so amazingly well by Robyn. The view over Lake Taupo was incredible and we so enjoyed the amazing breakfasts on the deck overlooking the lake. Robyn was always ready with a cup of tea and biscuits which was particularly valued when we arrived back from a Huka falls walk absolutely soaked! The bedroom was really well equipped with tea/coffee making facilities and fridge which was a real bonus. The bathroom was large and well equipped with a great shower. There was also a balcony to sit outside and enjoy the tremendous view of the lake.

    Easy to find, private mineral hot pool is basic but a real luxury to have after a long drive, great comfortable bed. Basic Sky package, decent TV for watching the rugby was important and we were able to get food delivered, easily; people know where it is. Very friendly, welcoming staff; stayed here 1 night on the way down to Wellington from Auckland and again on the way back, both times they walked me to my room and showed me all the amenities before handing me the keys and wishing me a good evening, very sweet.

    Wow Punawai is an exceptional bed and breakfast with friendly hosts . Very private room with your own guest lounge with amazing lake Taupo views and luxury wallace cotton linen to cocoon you in the extremely comfortable bed . Off street parking and easy Uber ride into town if needed. Home made treats and continental breakfast with yummy Bircher muesli was great to start our day.
