The room was spacious, with an ensuite bathroom with a bath and tea/coffee making facilities. The view of the lake was beautiful, only slightly obscured by the trees! The bed was v. comfortable. A 5 min drive to some restaurants, overlooking the lake at sunset. Breakfast was tasty and we had a good chat with Kathy in the morning. More to see and do in Taupo, one night was not enough! We would recommend staying with Kathy and maybe come back one day.
