Isabel and Bert are attentive and thoughtful hosts who truly want you to have a wonderful time in their little cottage, and in Taupo. My mom and I had a lovely stay: picnic at the lake at sunset (picnic basket included in the accomodation!), many swims (3-5 minute walk to the lake!), and lovely afternoons reading in the backyard (nice reclining lawn chairs are great!). We would happily return for another mother - daughter getaway. The size of the space was perfect for 2 adults, but I think it would feel a bit small to share with more people than that. That was my sense, but others may feel differently. Cheers, Isabel and Bert!
