Wonderful location looking out on Acacia Bay, Taupo town, and Mt Tauhara. Short walk down the hill to a dairy and The Bay, and just a little farther to a nice playground. Short drive into Taupo. Spectacular deck for enjoying those views. The house was well set up including fully stocked kitchen and linens. A bit chilly in the winter, but heaters and electric blankets took care of us. Note no Wifi, which is mostly fine on holiday, but occasionally would have been useful for planning activities and making reservations. Overall was a great stay!
