A very comfortable and spacious downstairs apartment with separate access. Parking available at rear of house. Good shower and comfortable king-size bed. Hosts Kazumi and Ray are good communicators, responding quickly to our queries both prior to and during our stay. Kazumi met us on arrival with a very tasty loaf of homemade bread and had lit the well-stocked wood burner fire, an especially warm welcome on a very cold and wet day. A cosy base for winter visits to the Taupo region.
