A quiet escape from town, well laid out and appointed, with a lovely fire place and well appointed kitchen to warm the heart and tummy. About 15 minutes out of downtown Taupo itself, a car is definitely required, but there is plenty of parking space and a lovely couple of private decks to enjoy the sun, and a large lounge / kitchen space to relax in if the weather outside is not so good. 4 great bedrooms well separated from the main living space, and plenty of fast wifi, though cell phone reception can be a bit challenging in parts of the place and depending on your provider. All up, a great place, relaxing and welcoming, and I would definitely go again.
