Great place to stay in Taupo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the house has everything you need and is located just a short drive or 15/20 minute easy walk into town, and only a 2 minute walk down to the road to the lake. The house was very clean and exactly as advertised, it has lovely views out to the lake and beyond as well as a lovely outdoor area to relax or have a bbq.

Wonderful Stay in Every Way

We loved everything about our stay. This is a very nice, generous sized home with a sunny and private BBQ area, well equiped kitchen, and a spacious living area with a view towards the lake (which is a 5-10 minute walk away). Nice clean bathroom and fluffy towels, and the bedrooms capture the sun at various times of the day. I recommend this property and would definately stay here again
