Yet another awesome stay at this modern home. Set on the corner of 2 quiet roads this home allowed for some much needed r and r. With the AC baths just minutes away by car this trip was an awesome time of healing and reconnecting.

Chill out and relax

Very impressed with this location. Settled in a quiet neighbourhood this getaway home proved to be an excellent spot for us to chill out and relax while being able to enjoy all that Taupo has to offer the holidaymaker. It was amazing to come back to an inviting home at the end of the days exploring and put our feet up knowing everything we needed was close at hand. Will definitely be coming here again.
