Wow! What an amazing view! We were very lucky to get a couple days of sun (in an otherwise very wet winter) and enjoyed some amazing sunsets. You have everything you need here, very tranquil, and not far from town. If arriving late at night, it's very dark, so you'll come up the entry drive way, go past the cottage (which is the first building on the right) and continue up the other driveway, to the main house. There is a turning bay for a car too. The house is very comfortable and so are the beds and couches. It's a great base for venturing out into Taupo and doing all the touristy activities or hikes in the area. If you are a coffee fan, I recommend 'Double Shot' for good coffee :) Thanks for having us!
