This is the perfect place to stay. We enjoyed our stay very much! The location is about 15 mins from Taupo, in a quiet, peaceful rural setting, with lake access nearby for a quiet dip away from the chaos. The accommodation itself is beautifully presented, immaculately clean and the bed is comfortable.We will definitely stay again, highly recommend!

Host was super accommodating and lovely to talk to, the kitchen was well set up and location was perfect. I did notice that the cream coloured blinds were a little dirty but that is really such a minor thing. I really enjoyed our stay!

We were not given the gate code, but that was sorted quickly. Location was fine. Enjoyed the trip's into Taupo and Acacia Bay. A coffee table would be handy. We made do with our "Chilly Bin". Nice to see Mount Ruapehu out the kitchen window. Nice tidy unit.
