Highly recommend Brett and Penny's for any travelers visiting the area. My husband and I stayed here for two nights and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Amenities were complete with laundry and dryer, and you'll get to enjoy an awesome view of Taupo Lake from the balcony. Brett and Penny were also friendly and offered local tips to help us explore Taupo better. Great hosts, great views and a comfortable night's rest - nth can be better than this, so definitely highly recommended!
