Lorraine and Mark's place is a great place to stay offering plenty of room and ammenties.
Taupo town is a short drive or scooter ride away with a few local stores just up the hill.
The lake walk is an easy distance to access and a recommended stroll however long or short, it is awesome!
There is plenty to do and it is handy to pack something warm for cooler/cold/windy weather.
We love Taupo.
