We had a fantastic time here! The view and birdsong was amazing! Lots to do around Taupō (summer and winter) but equally comfortable to laze around the house.
Be sure to do the bush walk that starts at the top of the road where the house is - you won’t regret it!
Great location in that Taupō town is an hour away but good access to Mt Ruapehu and the Tongariro crossing...
