The place was easy to locate. It was probably a 5-10 mins walk to the lake depending om your phase of walking. The host Lynlee and Jo were very quick to respond to my queries all the time. We just had one car used so it was not a problem for us the shared driveway in parking our car. The house was very tidy and had all the necessary amenities needed. Got lucky to have used the brand new oven or the kitchen in particurly as it was newly renovated. Great place to stay if you plan to visit Taupo.
