A stylish space, comfy bed and wonderful shower. Very warm and quiet. Walkable to town. Violet was very hospitable and I appreciated all the extra touches including jam sponge on arrival! Excellent supplies including breakfast. Violet was helpful with tips of what to do in Taupo and there was lots of information there. I loved exploring Taupo, I can recommend going on the Ernest Kemp boat cruise and search out Tukairangi Gallery (not far from L'Arte). =)
