Had an enjoyable three night stay here. Location is just on the far side of easily walkable to Taupo's downtown, and a great centralized location for jumping off to Tongariro or Rotorua. Great deck out in front of the house and a grill to boot, but didn't take advantage of using it while we were there.

Only critique is the air in the house got a little warm and stale while we were out during the day, and opening the windows in the evening to air it out let in some bugs.
