The photos do not do this place justice. The view, wow! Step outside the room, and you have a gorgeous view of Lake Taupo. The space is big and functional, shower is nice and warm, and the bed is very comfortable. Vicki left us coffee and snacks in our room. She was very accommodating and great to communicate with. The town center is only about 5 minutes away with plenty to do. This is a great warm, inviting place to base for your stay in Lake Taupo. Highly recommend.
