What a great place.
This was probably my favorite stay in our travels throughout New Zealand. The hostess and her family were soooo kind and accommodating, doing the nice touches that make a stay special. For example, they shared a healthy bowl of freshly-picked berries with us and even set out 2 darling Tasmanian Devil and Bugs Bunny golfing-themed drink glasses for us as they knew we golfed!
The small guest house is amazing. It has everything you need and is well appointed. The bed is super comfortable, the fridge is a great size, plenty of room for lounging inside or by the pool. (It wasn't warm enough yet to swim otherwise we would have certainly done that as well!) The kitchen even has a dishwasher, stove and oven. We just loved this place.
The only thing to note is that the laundry is in the main house, not located in the guest house.
If you are going to be in the Taupo area, I cannot recommend this place enough. I wish we had stayed here one more night instead of moving on to Rotoura!
