My wife and I, along with our son and our dog stayed at Taupo Retro Bach for around 5 weeks while we found permanent accommodation in Taupo. We grew to really love the house. It has such an awesome location. I will really miss the quick access to the lake. Alison was a great host, on call for any concerns, but left us to it so we could enjoy our time there. The fish box and Ploughman's restaurant/bar were very close and really good. We'll be going back to those spots.
