Sarah’s place is lovely with modern amenities and the rustic charm of a wood-paneled interior. It’s on a quiet street a few blocks above the lake shore. My wife and I stayed here for a night on our honeymoon. Sarah was very responsive to inquiries and gave clear instructions for checkin. She also offered several good recommendations for dining in town. The highlight was sitting on the balcony with a cheese spread and bottle of wine at sunset and enjoying the exceptional view.
The living room is open and airy and the kitchen is well appointed with tools and applicable to cook in.
The master bed is quite comfortable and while open balcony doors are great for temperature regulation during the day, provided fans are very helpful at night.
The water pressure in the showers is quite decent and there was plenty of hot water.
All in we had a great stay and if back in Taupo we would look to stay here again.
