Denise and Ian were the warmest, friendliest and most helpful hosts ever. Their home is absolutely stunning with an unbeatable view over Lake Taupo. The wonderful homemade gourmet breakfast is an additional treat. The en suite bedroom was huge with a million dollar view, and very comfortable beds. Definitely one of the nicest stays we have had anywhere. Denise and Ian went out of their way to make us comfortable. We came as visitors and left as friends. Definitely stay here- you will love it!
