We had the most amazing stay at Chris and Marki's house in Lake Taupo. The house is beautiful and the views to die for from any direction. Chris and Marki are generous and welcoming hosts and they made us feel totally at home by giving us the free run of their house. I can't thank them enough for being so trusting and generous, and for sharing their lovely home with us. The upstairs veranda, with its sweeping views, provided countless hours of pure relaxation and enjoyment. I must have over a hundred photos from it...
