This place is perfect for us, when we come to race Ironman as a small group. The house is just like home, provides everything you need and super clean. We will definitely come back again.

We stayed in Taupo for a month for work reasons. Our stay was very very good. We enjoyed very much all corners of the house. There were plenty of games and toys like darts and bocce and a beautiful garden with a great Jacuzzi. Beds were very comfortable and luxurious. The appliances efficient and convenient.
