Perfect for Two

This was a lovely comfortable cottage for our stay in Taupo. Bright, clean and warm. We were welcomed by the host on arrival. Situated a short walk from the lake edge, shops and restaurants. Quiet and away from the main road but with a nice view towards the lake from the deck and windows. Would recommend for a couple or with 1 younger child in tow. (Does sleep up to 4). Would be happy to stay there again. Could be improved by adding a hotplate for cooking or frypan. Perhaps mount TV on the wall to make room for this.
