This was a great place to use as our base during our visit to Taupo. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed to make our visit very enjoyable. The bonus was the outside deck which we used every night to take in the last of the evening sun, and first thing in the morning for breakfast, taking advantage of the glorious weather we had. The house is a couple of minutes drive to the centre of town, but very well placed for all amenities. Denise left us to it, but was always available to help if we required it. A great stay for our 3 days and i would certainly use it again when back in Taupo.
