Very nice room with a terrace and beautiful lake view (which we didn't get to enjoy much though, since the sun sets already around 5 pm in the winter.) Kitchenette was convenient and had everything we needed, but there was a dining table only outside and not really a place to eat inside. Good instructions for the check in. The place is very easy to reach by car. By foot a bit far from the Taupo center but not too bad, about 25-30 min walk, and taxis are available as well.
