Thank you Neil and Irene for the use of your beautiful holiday home. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer, sitting and looking out over that magnificent view of Lake Taupo. A big highlight was being able to capture views of the house from the lake when we did a cruise. Your kitchen was very well appointed, and that 'picture window' was THE best spot to sit and forget about the world rushing by. We hope to make another trip to NZ, and will definitely check if your home is available, and will be recommending it to others.
