Clara and Chris' place is on the south side of Lake Taupo, away from the hustle and bustle of the town, which is really the perfect place for a getaway. The room is a little cabin just away from the house with its own electricity supply, and porch with a swing. We loved it. Warm and cozy, it feels like an escape. Just off the main road down a gravel road, there is an old wharf that's great to go an sit by and watch the swan colony, and just down the road are some excellent thermal pools and a free thermal activity walk. The place is also the perfect location for waiting for a good day to trek the Tongariro Crossing. Well worth a visit. Clara and Chris as hosts are warm, friendly and welcoming! Thanks so much guys!
