    Honestly the entire experience was lovely, from the warm welcome at 8.30pm of the owners, to them setting the heat pump. Beautiful linen, incredibly clean and a great unit which was right in the lakefront.

    Location was beautiful, just by the taupo lake. The building was there since 1932, but it was well maintained with all the modern furniture fitting. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils. The beds are comfy. I will come back again. Cheers.
