The most luxurious spot, well worth the long trip from the city toTaupo. Sarah's place is heavenly and all you feel is an absolute solitude and peace. Very clean, with all the comforts of home. It doesn't have a stove but the gas barbeque outside is more than adequate enough, we only used this once as we want to take our dinner meal in the house to take full advantage of the most breathtaking views surrounding us. There are many restaurants and shops to choose from easily 10 mins drive away from the house. The main attractions such as the Craters of the moon, Huka falls and the thermal spas are around 15mins drive away, everything's easily reachable and yet the house itself retains the beautiful isolation from all the buzz of the town. Highly recommended for couples or for anyone wanting to get away from it all to recharge your body and spirit
