Jane welcomed us at the front gate to her wonderful home. The house is located in a great neighbourhood with direct access to running/ walking trails around the lake edge. In warmer weather it would be an ideal location for swimming and kayaking. Taupo township is a 5 min drive away with all the usual amenities of a large country town and access to all that the Taupo region has to offer. If you like mountain biking, hiking, skiing or running then Jane is the perfect host. She can point in the right direction for any activity you choose. Jane even went away for 2 days and left us with the whole house. We loved it. Next time we'll bring the family. Cheers Steve and Fiona
