Lovely home in a quiet neighbourhood.
Views of the lake, lovely garden with deck for relaxing - great indoor/outdoor flow.
Great layout if you are travelling with family. We just had one teenager with us, but the downstairs is great for families who might want a little separation - TV, beanbags, bunk beds, games and activities available.
The bedrooms are all a good size - we appreciated how clean everything was, extra bedding if you needed it (we didn't, but it's always an indicator as to how thoughtful the hosts are).
We were in Taupō for just a night, celebrating a birthday, connecting with family - great to find a spot with room for more than one car off the street, separate bedrooms for everyone, plus generous sized living/dining/kitchen with plenty of comfy seating.
Definitely bookmarking this one for future trips!
