Pros - Nice clean house with a cozy living area and well equipped kitchen. Dining table is great for larger groups or lots of kids. The house is an easy drive to Taupo and tourist attractions and a nice walk down to the lake. Everything you need is pretty close by. Being able to store our bikes in the garage was great.
Cons - the beds are terrible. Very old mattresses that are soft and they all have roll-together issues. It was challenging getting a good nights sleep which was disappointing. The bathrooms are clean but tired. The neighbours houses are very close and we had to keep the downstairs bedroom curtains closed, and there is little privacy in the outdoor area. We didn’t use it much as we were out during the day but it’s worth a mention for those who prefer privacy.
Extra charge per person for more than 4 people even though it’s a 3 bedroom house with 5 beds.
