We had a really great stay at Rainbows End. It was very comfortable and warm. Good kitchen and cooking utensils, comfy furniture and the beds were great, especially the electric blankets because it became cold at night. It was good to have a washing machine and clothes dryer, particularly as it was quite wet when we stayed.
The house was close to Taupo township and a good place to set off to see other parts of the world around there. I highly recommend Rainbows End for a place to stay when in Taupo.
Deborah was very helpful when we forgot the lock box number.
