We chose to stay in Acacia Bay along our way to Wellington in order to experience Lake Taupo for ourselves. We were truly blown away by the style and comfort that Lynne's house! The rooms were decorated elegantly and the beds were very comfortable, especially for tired tourists like us! The location was the selling point for us as it was just at the cusp of Taupo town, but the added view and convenient walking paths made our stay over both exciting and relaxing. Thoroughly recommend this place!
