Was a fabulous place to stay at. Loved having the space and the sofas were awesome to relax in and view the sunsets. We enjoyed staying in rather than eating out. Was a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again. Was a 5 minute drive to town so it was easy to get around.
We really enjoyed our stay here with extended family. Well fenced for our small dogs. Great location with a wonderful view over Taupo. Walking distance to the river. Kerry was a very efficient and helpful host.
