My wife Jackie and I had a wonderful stay with Amanda and James and Charlie Bear. It was a very easy check in with excellent communication. Private and convenient entryway into the room. The room is cozy with all the essentials plus some nice extras. They are just a short 15 minute walk along the lake to all of the restaurants and shopping in Taupo. They also gave us a bottle of bubbly for us to enjoy for our Honeymoon. Even better, they let us enjoy the bubbly on their back patio and watch the sunset over the beautiful Lake Taupo. It was so lovely! Very welcoming and hospitable, we felt like we were right at home. Would highly recommend! Thanks again for everything!!
