Perfect location, perfect stay. This home is more beautiful that the pictures show and we stayed during the winter. We were a party of four adults and three kids and it was the perfect home. The kids had plenty of room to play indoors and outdoors and the adults enjoyed the living space as well as the cooking space. The hikes in and around the home were perfect for the children and adults alike and the drive into Taupo is less than 15 minutes. As everyone else has said, we wish we could have stayed longer!
