We spent our family Christmas at Tui’s Rest and couldn’t have asked for better accommodation for a group of us. With a mixture of bed combinations across four bedrooms and a rumpus room, two bathrooms, a comfy lounge and inside and outside dining it all made for a really comfortable and relaxed stay. The kitchen was really well fitted out and as the weather was superb during our stay we made the most of the barbeque, even cooking the Christmas turkey on it. The house is in a lovely quiet street, only a 5 minute walk to the lake and there’s a great path along the lake edge. If you’re looking for a coffee, even though it’s handy avoid the Two Mile Bay Sailing Club Cafe and it’s terrible service, walk a little further to the Millennium Hotel Cafe or do the 5 minute drive into town. Stephen, our host, was really helpful when we made the booking and all communication was friendly and prompt. We would definitely recommend Tui’s Rest as a great place to stay in Taupō.
