Wow. Helen’s house is the BEYOND the best. You have the full access downstairs with your two bedrooms, a living room, private bathroom. Everything was provided, including bottle water, tea, coffee, the washing machine and dryer. The granny flat is spotless and we all though it was brand new. Upstairs you would have a nice view of Taupo Lake. Helen is very easy to approach and we wish we could stay a little bit longer. If I have another visit I would choose this place again.
