Cheryl & Dennis are wonderful hosts and are genuinely interested in making your stay as great as possilbe. The Airbnb is located a 5-10 minute drive to the center of Taupo, where shops and restaurants are found. A few minutes walk will take you down to the Lake . The unit has what you need for a few days as micro wave, fridge & freezer, washing machine, water boiler and bread toaster. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to come back. P & U
