we had such a great stay with a mixed group of family. Ours kids of 8 and 12 loved the lay out with lots of spots to relax with or without the adults, they loved being able to walk easily to the lake and use the bikes in the garage. The young adults also enjoyed the house layout having spots to relax with or without the rest of the family and so close to town can pop in and out for activities and restaurants. The older crew and Nana and pop enjoyed being able to relax and watch the world go by from the house well located in Taupo. We had such a good stay. The kids loved all the stairs between levels. l hadn't realised there isn't an ensuite to the master which would have been handy but didn't worry us as there is two beautifully appointed full sized bathrooms and the pressure was awesome and the hot water never ran cold. As we had kids the washer and dryer was so handy after swims and rides, thanks so much top spot!
