Pros:
1. location - close to the lake and Taupo's city centre
2. very spacious house with a 5-person spa, large backyard, space for a basketball ring and 2 x living areas inside the house
3. the place has everything you'll need to cook some meals indoors, handy when it's easter weekend and some restos are closed and you have to make meals.
4. there are many bedrooms to choose from and they are all super spacious
5. the fireplace is amazing and keeps the house super warm
6. Netflix and Neon available
Cons:
1. all the beds dip in the middle except for the one in the masters bedroom - some of us started getting sore backs after the first night. we worked around it by taking turns with the masters bedroom so we at least had one good night's sleep each
2. the pillows are super old and didn't help with the bed situation
3. there is a stray cat that comes in for a feed. i read about this a little too late (a day before our travel). I'm allergic to cats.
