If you're looking for a place to stay in the Taupo area, look no further. Lisa's Bach 63 is the place to go. The spot is perched atop a picturesque hill with outstanding breathtaking 180 degree views around the entire lake. We couldn't bring ourselves to leave to eat our either night of our stay in spite of all the great food recommendations Lisa provided. Instead, we drank wine on the incredible patio and cooked while watching the spectacular sunsets and listening to the birds chirping away blended with music steaming from a 90-s era boom box and a killer cd collection that was simultaneously nostalgic and up to date. Everything you'd want to do in Taupo is accessible by car in a few minutes. Of the 10 AirBnB's we stayed at during our 17 day trip to New Zealand, this was the clear favorite!! We will definitely be back to this little Bach in the future! Thanks, Lisa!
