Although the weather has turned from summer to winter literally overnight while we were in Taupo, we loved the changing panorama looking out over lake Taupo, towards the mountains which were covered in snow. The home was a very short walk to town for coffees and meals, the home is furnished very comfortably and the kitchen has top quality pans and accessories which I loved as I have become quiet addicted to enjoying the wonderful NZ produce, particularly the lamb! The home was spotlessly clean and we loved the lush fluffy bath towels and general ambience of the home. Also great being able to drive into the garage and then walk straight upstairs. Would highly recommend and hope to stay here again ourselves when next in Taupo.
