My family and I had a great stay at Belinda and Hughs place. the kids especially loved sleeping in the loft. What a special spot you have overlooking Taupo lake and waking up to the view of snow-capped mountains is something we could get used too. Belinda and Hugh are so welcoming, they really make you feel at home and comfortable. Highly recommend visiting Taupo and staying at Belinda and Hughs'. :)
