We stayed here for a long weekend to escape Auckland and it was perfect. Trevor was a wonderful host who made us (and our dog) feel instantly welcome. We even had a little blackboard welcome sign with our names on it when we arrived - it's the little things! Staying out of the hustle and bustle of central Taupo was the best decision we made. It's only a 10 minute drive to town if you need anything but it's much nicer being a little more out in the countryside with less people/noise. The cabin is in a secluded little spot with one of the windows looking out to nothing but bush. Our favourite part was the walking track from the cabin down to the river where you can then follow the track down to the lake. The cabin itself has everything you need and the bed is SUPER comfy. Well set-up kitchenette with all the appliances you need to make a simple meal at home.
Fantastic hosts, fantastic accommodation. Thank you Trevor & Gail!
