Very nice, clean. Only tip would be to be to provide a plug box in second bedroom. With only one electrical outlet - and that needed for the bedside light was nowhere to charge phone etc in the room.

A great dtay

My daughter and I, the cottage was comfortable with great views over Lake Taupo. As it’s summer we sat outside as much as we could. The beds were comfortable ,all rooms other than bathroom have lake views. Whareros is off the beaten track but a lovely corner. My only problem was getting into the shower, my knees don’t bend very well.

Fishermen's dream location

The location so handy to the south west end of lake Taupo, with great elevated views to see conditions on the water. Within a safe quiet community. Batch sited well with great out door decking. Indoor comfortable and adequate. Some standeds of improvement would help improvement the experience and desire to return. Like better pressure in shower. Cleaning product like dishwashing liquid refilled. But all in all highly recommend this as a great place to stay.

A lovely home away from home and has all you need for a relaxing stay. The new deck is wonderful, from which we enjoyed the view, read books and relaxed with a drink in hand.
