It was a very cute, clean, cosy place for 2 of us, but with enough room to have 2-3 more friends if we wanted. The location was 5 minutes drive from the town (2.5km to be exact) and Jo was quick and kind at responding to my various questions. The heatpump kept us warm, the place was tastefully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Lake Taupo to stay here.
