Rick's house is set-up for guests like no other we've stayed at, it was fantastic. Situated 5 minutes from the centre of Taupo made getting around easy. We used bikes supplied by Rick and cycled down to Two Mile Bay Sailing Club for drinks and pizzas one afternoon - was lovely biking along the lake front. The spa was perfect to soak in after a busy day out, and the house is well heated for those cold Taupo days. Clear instructions and guest book, comfy beds, clean and roomy for our group of five. Would highly recommend to others planning their next trip to Taupo.
