This is a lovely spot, about 15mins from Taupo. Kinloch is a 5 min drive and a lovely place by the lake with a store. Check in was easy, although we used GPS to find the place and it took us to the neighbour's place (but the number is on their gate, so you quickly realise it's next door). Dave is lovely and popped down to check everything was OK about 30 mins after we settled in, he had the fire lit for us on arrival and this warms up the house nicely. You might like to bring a portable heater in winter if you don't like a chilly start to the morning, as the fire does go out overnight while you're sleeping. A nice size place, it's quite spacious. We really enjoyed the juice, milk and home-made biscuits they had left for us, there was also some bread and spreads for breakfast and some chocs on the beds for us (a really nice touch). The place is quite nice and private.
