This is an outstanding upper class house in one of the quieter neighborhoods close to Lake Taupo. The property was one of the best AirBNB facilities we stayed during our 2-months visit to New Zealand. The rooms are modern and sparkling clean. We appreciated the spacious garage and beautiful garden. The lake view is spectacular. The weather was not great when we arrived in Taupo, but we could still enjoy the great view in the lounge. The kitchen was exceptionally equipped for us to cook every meal. The community was safe and peaceful. It’s just far enough from the noice of city center, but close enough for you to drive there for shopping and eating. The host was very friendly and responsive. We highly recommend this place for any visitor to Taupo.
