What an outstanding location ! The view from the kitchen / living area is beautiful and access to the beach is only metres from the veranda. The kitchen is well equipped and the washing machine was a huge benefit to us. We loved staying here ..... early morning lake walks, kayaking on Lake Taupo and easy access to Taupo town . Very comfortable Bach . Bron was very helpful with the linen collection which is only 2 doors from the cottage . Would highly recommend.
