A great place to base yourself when exploring the Taupo and greater area. The space is small but effective for two people and while the kitchen is very pokey it is suitable to cook a full meal. The big selling point in the listing was the best Coffee in Taupo at your doorstep. Didn't work for us as the Cafe was closed weekdays and only open form 10am on weekends. May be different in peak season. BUT... the listing did not mention the building has a pool that is heated Geothermally and is amazing. The small pool is about 42 degrees and the larger pool at 32. There is a hot water spring that bubbles to the surface just outside the pool gates and the section of the lake that the building is situated on is called "Hot water Bay". The pool was our highlight, spending time soaking each evening after our long walks around the area. While this place is not a "holiday home" shared with the world through AirB&B, rather a dedicated commercial holiday unit, we enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it to other travelers.
