Clara and Chris were very nice, welcoming hosts. They helped accommodate our at-home dinner/breakfast. The room is separate from the main house and is quite small (a little more than the space for the bed), as noted and shown in the pictures. We stayed in late May (almost winter), and it was chilly with the space heater, so we bundled up at night. The location has close access to Lake Taupo and was a good stop for us on the way to Tongariro National Park.
