Nice place and enjoyable outdoor seating area. The hot water heater was off upon arrival, so our first round of showers was cold. It's located in the kitchen cabinet next to the fridge, so recommend checking that right away. Also the house instructions asked us to take our trash to the dump which was nearby but doesn't open until 8 AM. Otherwise would recommend to others passing through Turangi. Rebecca was thoughtful in providing beach towels, which were greatly appreciated for our swim in Taupo Lake.
