Quick trip from oz

Check in was so easy and straight forward, everything was accessible & clean. Our family had great sleeps in comfy beds with warm blankets included. It rained all weekend so the kids stayed in & hung out with each other playing board games And would quickly go to the park only 30mins away when there was a break in the weather. Comfy, warm & clean. Nice getaway weekend in Taupo Bay, can’t wait to go back again
