A fabulous location with a truly amazing view. Only a few minutes drive to Taupo but once there you’re away from all the hustle and bustle. We thoroughly enjoyed poodling about on the lake, having a bonfire on the beach with the neighbors and of course skiing on Ruapehu was only just over an hour away. The Bach itself is really well equipped and very comfortable. We only used the lakeside bedrooms, and although it’s right on SH1 we didn’t hear the traffic noise.
