Hilltop Cottage was a great find for our quick trip to Taupo. Even though we only stayed one night you could easily stay many and we would be very happy to return to this lovely little house. Everything was very clean. The bed most comfortable with nice linen and feather duvet. Fresh flowers and chocolates making your stay just that little bit personal. Great facilities with small kitchen, large bathroom with good pressure in shower, excellent heating provided making a chilly night very cosy. Beautiful lake view. Quiet and peaceful with privacy from the main house. We did not meet Dan as he was working late but he did answer his telephone quickly when I had a query.
