Perfect Base for Our Adventures

Our group of four had a fantastic stay at Tracy and Steve's well-equipped property. The house had everything we needed - fully stocked kitchen, all linen provided, and a cozy fireplace that kept us warm. Perfect location for walking to town and driving to local attractions like the Tongariro River and Tokaanu Hot Pools.The road noise from Highway 1 was minimal and didn't affect our stay. Excellent value for money and ideal for families or small groups exploring the region. Would definitely book again!

Super convenient location for exploring Lake Taupo and hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. No a/c, but we made it work by opening some windows at night when it cooled off.
