Great location handy to all facilities and very easy to find. Shops (4square, takeaways) all within a few minutes drive. Home was clean and cozy. Pack an extra layer for night time if you get cold easily - it is not unpleasantly cold but it is Taupo and the warmth provided by the heat pump doesn't reach the far bedrooms. Cooking facilities were spot on and the neighbourhood is very quiet which was perfect for us with children in tow. Was so nice to "come home" after a busy day and relax and watch TV with them. Home away from home for us - we will definitely look at booking again :-)
