We enjoyed a weekend in Taupo to celebrate a 60th birthday. The sun shone and we made full use of the lovely deck area and spa bath as well as taking the bikes out on the lakeside track which is a couple of minutes away. We found the house spacious (for three couples) and clean and very well equipped. It is in a quiet area although very close to the lake and amenities. The games room in the garage is a great idea as well. A fantastic property.
