Would absolutely recommend this place for anyone heading to Taupo. Such amazing value for money. You will have a stunning view of the lake and access to a hot tub overlooking the lake. Don is such a warm, lovely, welcoming host who made everything so easy. The place is extremely clean and warm. Another review mentioned a narrow bathroom, while it is narrow, I am quite tall and didn’t find this to be an issue. We loved our stay and will stay again next time we are in Taupo.
