Marki and Chris are lovely and accommodating hosts. The location is beautiful with great views of Lake Taupo from the outdoor patio. Lake access for swimming etc within 100 m of the door. The accommodation is the lower floor of a house with owners living in the upper floor. Washing and rubbish disposal is upstairs, but Marki and Chris provide almost unlimited access to these areas, so inconvenience is minimal. The living space was a little tight for 4 people (our group) but manageable. I highly recommend.
