We only stayed a short while but had a great time, the house was big enough that we weren't on top of each other which was nice!

Great location, big house
We stayed as a group of six adults and two young kids - the house was perfect for us and even had plenty of space to share. We enjoyed the functional kitchen and living area, ample outdoor space, and great views of the lake and sunset. The location is a short drive or long walk into town and a short walk to a great hot water beach on the lakefront. Overall I would recommend this house and would happily stay again!

Wonderful house
We all loved staying here - there was so much space for us all and a good view of the lake. The bbq on the back deck was well utilised too. We all agreed we would definitely stay here again when visiting Taupo. The spa is filled with hot water from under the ground - takes a few hours then you add cold water to bring the temperature down - we all enjoyed the novelty of that.
