Tania and Tony were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and friendly and made the lodge feel like home! Our room was comfortable and cosy, and the lodge is in a peaceful location with a lovely lake walk just down the road. It's also conveniently situated for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing - as we were doing the crossing during our stay, Tony also went out of his way to help with organising a shuttle and had a lot of helpful advice. Breakfast was great, and Tania makes some excellent coffee! We had a great stay and would definitely recommend for travellers to the Lake Taupo area.
