Heather's is the perfect stay in Taupo. The room was modern, exceptionally clean and quiet. Lovely, comfortable big bed, great high-powered shower, helpful facilities like a fridge, a toaster etc., automatic lighting in the bathroom and a USB charger. We had a dip in the pool. It was pretty cold but that suited perfectly on a hot day after a 20-mile cycle ride!
The room was in a quiet residential location. I would suggest you need a car to stay here because it's a bit of a walk back down to the promenade but as most tour NZ with a car anyway, it's ideal. Lovely views of the lake on the drive in and out.
We were only disappointed that we couldn't stay for longer.. Would not hesitate to re-book here if we ever came back to Taupo. Thank you, Heather and Craig!
