We stayed here with my wife and daughter. I scheduled to stay in Taupo during the last 3 days of our trip to New Zealand, because we wanted to relax and enjoy the lake view of the big lake before leaving this country. I was lucky to choose the best place for my purpose.
The lake view from the private garden provided to us was one of the most spectacular sights to see in Taupo. It is much better than the photographs shown on the intro page.
Two bedrooms and one living room given to us were clean, comfortable, and beautiful. Bathroom was also clean and I could enjoy the view of Lake Taupo even in there.
Items such as plates, cutlery and towels were also of good quality and clean.
Christine and Peter welcomed us warmly and let us comfortable and free. Even though I wasn't good at English, they were very kind and considerate so we felt it like home.
I really want to thank the hosts for all of these and hope to stay there again when I have another opportunity to visit New Zealand.
For an information, it takes about 10 minutes to drive to downtown and you cannot cook or do a laundry yourself here. We used local restaurants and laundromat and it wasn't a problem for us at all, but it might be good to consider in case you are a traveler who wants to cook yourself.
