Steve's place is very clean and well equipped. The spa is sensational. You even have a lake view. It is a very short walk to Lake Taupo and a five minutes car ride to the center. Steve and his wife a very nice people. Unfortunately it rained a lot when we were there. But therefore we got to try a lot of restaurants and cafes. Victorias cafe, master of India and Pauly's Burger are only a few great examples.
