Brett's place was the perfect place for us at this point in our travels. A washing machine and drier were very welcome whilst we relaxed on the balcony with a lengthy breakfast. The bedroom was quite small and no TV or fridge, but more than compensated for because you have access to very large shared space including breakfast kitchen area, a fridge for guests, balcony overlooking Lake Taupo, huge TV in lounge. Brett and Penny were very welcoming kind hosts and really let you share their home. Good luck with restoring the waterfall.
