Delia has a cute cottage in a lovely spot in Taupo. From the deck you can see part of the lake which was beautiful at sunset. The cottage is private and has everything you need. It was an easy walk to the lake front and many restaurants. The shops are a short drive away or if you do like walking, it would be a nice walk to them.
Highly recommend staying here. Delia is very sweet and welcoming with great communication. She made us feel like it was our place. Our pup enjoyed herself as well.
