Very accurate description of this fantastically located wee home above the lake. Excellent communication from Melanie and a few extra touches: chocolate on arrival, daily paper delivered, fresh swimming towels delivered (for hot pools - NOT lake (mid winter after all!!)) without us asking, even though a washing machine is installed. Excellent place close to Taupo township by car/pushbike - own path to lake and set in quiet area of Acacia Bay. Some excellent features for us - decent heatpump for toasty warm winter evenings, very comfortable bed and good shower pressure. We enjoyed our week's stay very much. As we arrived late at night we also appreciated the heatpump and lights already on.
