This AirBnB is in a private, secluded area with a corner view of Lake Taupo. and easy access to town by car. The flower gardens in the yard are amazing. Ross is a gracious and thoughtful host. She allowed us to put our luggage in the cottage early before we headed off for a hike and provided coffee, milk, cereal, bread and jam for breakfast. It may be difficult to cook here since there is no stove or hob but there is a microwave, toaster, refrigerator, electric kettle and coffee plunger so making breakfast was easy. The cottage is clean and cozy.
