This place is now my go to whenever I come down to Taupō. My partner and I were so pleased with our stay here. It was so modern and clean and had everything you could possibly need. The extra stuff provided such as tea and coffee, shower essentials and extra towels and hairdryers truly came in handy, and a ice cold jug of fresh water was also placed into the fridge which we really appreciated after a long drive from Auckland. You can see that the host went out of their way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Check in and check out was so simple and the host David was so lovely. Close proximity to Taupo aswell, just a 10 min drive away on the other side of the lake. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
