We had a lovely stay here. It's a really convenient location (very quick drive into town and to the lakefront), and a great base from which to explore Taupo. It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed (including a shower with amazing hot water pressure - perfect after a day at the snow!). We appreciated having our own private access, and it felt a lot more private than many motels do. Ruth was a lovely host, and even brought around some lemons and honey after she heard I had a cold. We would definitely recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate to book again.
