We had 4 nights in Taupo at Tessa’s place and it was perfect for our extended family of 7. Great configuration for a larger group. Close to the lake and a short drive or 20min walk to the village. Beds were comfortable and clean. Fantastic fire that really pumps out the heat. Two driveways which was also good for us - having off street parking for 3 SUVs on the busy street. It’s an older style home - but has everything you need, with some cute personal touches, but not too crowded and stuffy! We’d definitely stay again. Thanks Tessa 😊 its a great place you have.
