We loved staying in the little flat which was beautifully furnished and had all the amenities nearby. We were blown away by Sandra's attention to detail from the pleats on the bathroom towels to the little chocolates on the pillows. It was obvious Sandra takes pride in being an awesome host which she was! Sandra was warm and welcoming and, was great to chat to. The little flat is equipped with microwave, kettle, kitchen utensils and tea/coffee/milo. We were able to park in Sandra's driveway just outside our room so unloading and loading our stuff was easy. Highly recommend if staying in Taupo- very close to restaurants, shops and most importantly the lake itself!
