The house was well looked after, spacious and clean. Exactly what we needed to come to after a long drive. We were able to drop our things and relax. Although it is central to Taupo shops and surrounded by other houses, it felt very private and was just lovely. Instead of sticking to our plans of going out to dinner, staying in with takeaways was much more appealing, so we did that instead. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.
