Vicki's place was even better than the photographs - they don't do it justice. It was in a great location for us to explore the Taupo area with stunning views from our front yard over the lake. Our area was very private and Vicki gave us everything we needed, the heater and TV were amazing on the cold rainy night! If we are back in Taupo, we will be back to Vicki's place again for sure!
