The view simply cannot be beat. It’s so beautiful. The space is compact but feels light and airy due to all of the windows and the skylight in the bathroom. Very private and quiet. We were only visited by a fluffy orange cat who took one look at us in the closed door and scampered off. ;) The NZ soaps were a nice touch and the duvet and pillows on the queen bed were heavenly!!!!!! Thank you so much for a relaxing stay in Taupo.
