Photos do not do the place any justice! On pictures the place looks run down and older but in reality it’s a very beautiful and modern place. Very clean and amenities were great! House has a heater and well insulated. There’s electric blankets in all the beds which was amazing, we all slept so well! Lots of hot water in the shower for our group of 4. Very thoughtful of the host to provide breakfast and snacks in the kitchen. We had such a lovely stay and will definitely recommend this place if heading down you’re heading to Taupo or even to Mt. Ruapehu over the Skii season.
