Summary: This place has a great feel to it... there's a bit of character on top of everything you need. Such a great location in this cute township by the lake with Taupo shops nearby. Our teenagers enjoyed the local tennis court and we loved the little local river walk. Would happily return. Friendly locals too! It was a cold time of year, but the fireplace was a charm. Could do with a heater in the lounge too for some instant heat on arrival, but other than that it's hard to fault. Grateful for the family memories it provided. :)
