Summary: Comfortable and charming cottage near the lake. Everything was clean and spotless and organised. A narrow corridor view to the lake was pleasant. If the TV was a little newer we could have streamed from our devices. I would also have liked a little milk to get us started with a cup of tea or similar when we arrived but otherwise a brilliant property for a couple or small friends group.

Summary: Our stay in Taupo was the middle of our North Island Holiday. I think being a few kms out of there centre of town is good. We found it very peaceful. The view out of the double French windows was framed by beautiful garden. It was lovely to sit in the lounge with the autumn sun streaming through the windows. The hosts made us feel very welcome and at home.
