Ems and Hayden have a beautiful home and you will find everything you need. We were lucky enough to be able to try out the spa with beautiful views of the bay from the deck. It is about 20mins from Taupo centre which was really easy to get to. Emma was also super quick to respond to questions and help us with anything we needed. Would recommend if you want to stay close to lake Taupo and the Taupo city centre.
