Great accomodation suitable for large group

Great place to stay in Taupo. Big enough for multiple families or large group of friends, as there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms so everyone gets their own space. Living area is nice to hang out in, with an open plan layout and views of the lake from the balcony. Convenient location

Balcony view was beautiful. Slept 7 very comfotably but room for 10. Room to get away from others if you wanted to. Very family friendly. Good facilities. There was an issue with ants in the upstairs ensuite that appeared to be coming up the inside wall. Would be good to have some insect repellant there.

Family get together

We were a family group, three sisters (94, 84, 78) one husband (85) and two daughters, so young, in their sixties! Stairs allowed easy access with two showers and toilets upstairs and two bedrooms and facilities downstairs. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely to see the afternoon sun setting over the lake in the afternoon while relaxing on the deck. Great parking. Would recommend the property to friends.

Five male friends in Taupo for trail ride. Having five bedrooms meant we all had a room. Note, one of the group said the downstairs shower overflows. (so we just used another shower.)
