Testimonials from our guests and friends.......

The facilities are great and really good value for money. The owners, Richard and Sandy, are fantastic people, very helpful and hospitable. The fishing advice and flies, etc. proved invaluable and were spot on. The on-site shop is well-stocked with a wide variety of essentials. Fishing tackle, including waders, are available for hire upon request. We had a brilliant time and cannot recommend it highly enough. We cannot wait to visit again. If you are in Taupo, this is the place to stay.......Ian and Nicole Phillips  (UK)

 

"From the moment I began to plan our trip from Perth Western Australia to New Zealand,  Richard and Sandy were a fantastic help. Emails gave suggestions as to what tackle was needed and contact was maintained right up to our arrival. These people are great hosts and our stay at the Windsor was made all that better by their hospitality and continual efforts to accommodate our every need. Richard has an array of fishing gear for hire and has a large selection of fly's and tackle at bargain prices. He also has good knowledge of the fishing scene and can suggest locations and guides if needed. There is good fishing just a few meters away from the Lodge in a beautiful pristine river. The Windsor has its own history as well with one of the oldest buildings in the region on its property. Forget your 5 star hotels this place has something better - Richard and Sandy. I would not hesitate to stay again and look forward to stopping there again on our next trip to NZ. Thanks again Richard and Sandy we all had a great time and hope to see you again in the near future.  Jim, Greer, Neal and Joneen – Perth Western Australia."

 

 

Richard and Sandy are great hosts. We arrived super late at dusk but were personally shown our site by Richard and issued a fishing licence, advised on the best flies and within minutes we were set. The site is small and intimate, a welcome change from some of the big sites we had experienced on our travels around NZ. Richard showed me some of the best places to fish and lent me some waders which helped alot. When I eventually caught a trout, our hosts were really great in helping us cook it on the bbq and thus ended a wonderful short stay. The facilities such as showers, kitchen etc are some of the best we experienced in NZ. The onsite shop is an Alladin's cave and has all you need and more but the difference is the real personal friendly one on one attitude of Richard and Sandy. We will be back 
All the best
