The view was amazing and we loved sitting on the veranda admiring Lake Taupo. A small hiccup upon arrival as the place had not been cleaned. Janine responded swiftly, got hold of the cleaners, and reimbursed us. We ended up having a lovely stay. If the weather is cold, our advice would be to bring fire starters. There had been quite heavy rainfall prior to our stay, and the wood was not completely dry so we had some difficulties getting a proper fire going.
Thank you for hosting us, Janine!
