Vicki was awesome to deal with and welcoming on arrival. she had the place very clean and tidy and even left me a fresh pack of tasty biscuits in the fridge along with a selection of coffee and tea to choose from. The neighborhood was very quiet and modern being in Acacia bay. The listing exceeded expectations and i thought the pictures didn't do it justice like previous reviews have mentioned. I would recommend this to anyone looking for somewhere to stay whilst in Taupo, Its very handy to town and tourist attractions like the bungy and huka falls. Privacy was good as well as Vicki just left me to it.
