If the lads are looking for a place to fish from, I think this is great! But, if you’re looking for clean and well maintained accommodation for your family, this may not be your best bet.
We were taken aback by how poorly this place has been maintained. We don’t mind old, but we do expect clean and safe - especially when staying with young children.
However, we thank Denise for the opportunity to stay in Taupo on the lakeside.
