This is a simple, very comfortable, light and airy, two bedroom house with a fabulous view looking west over the lake as well as south to the snow covered mountains in the Tongariro National Park which one occasionally sees when the clouds around them clear. The house is just three kilometres south of Taupo which can be walked on the waterfront path. The hot tub is a wonderful way to relax after an active day but takes a long time to fill so start preparing early. There is a good cafe on the lake front 200 metres from the house towards town. Only one bathroom but two toilets are very useful. The beds are comfortable. There were synthetic sheets on the main bed which we found uncomfortable to sleep in so if that is a problem to you check with the owner before arrival. This whole area has so much to offer that our six night stay was too short. We highly recommend this house for its comfort, location and view.
