This is indeed a gem overlooking the lake. We really enjoyed staying here and found it an excellent base for enjoying the Taupo area. It's in a very quiet location, yet handy enough to Taupo. Some nice decorative touches and supplies (milk, biscuits, tea, coffee) are very welcoming.

The accommodation is a downstairs 'granny flat' in a newish family home, and is very comfortable. There's a large lounge/dining/kitchen area with a jug, microwave, fridge and sink; separate bedroom with comfortable bed; separate bathroom with an excellent shower. The flat will be cool in summer and cozy in winter thanks to an effective heater. There's a small outdoor table too, with lake views.

Vicki was away when we stayed, but the arrangements worked seamlessly. Would use this property again if staying in the area.
