Not only is Tessa's place in an incredible lake region of South Taupo, but it is so stylish and comfortable. Although my husband and I were the only ones staying at the house, we loved having the space to spread out and get our packs organized for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The location of the home is perfect either as a base for activities in the Taupo area or in Tongariro. We would recommend this lovely home to our friends and family/
