Relaxing stay
This is a very spacious house with a wonderful living area. We felt really comfortable relaxing, sharing a meal, having a drink on the upstairs deck at sunset. Close to the lakeside so good for lovely walks as well. Would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay at this family bach in Taupo. The house was spacious, clean, and equipped with all the necessary facilities. The host was excellent, providing great communication throughout. The property was in immaculate condition, exactly as described and shown in the photos. Highly recommend this place, especially for families with kids.
