Great spot in a lovely neighborhood not far from Taupo (6 minutes). Very close to kayak hire, swimming beach and a lovely track around the lake. If you are going to kayak to the Maori rock carving, you will not get a closer kayak hire than this. House has amazing views and is beautifully decorated. Hosts are lovely and very helpful. We would highly recommend this place for a family or 2 couples or a romantic getaway.
