Great, quiet location with good sized, fully fenced section for our dog, who enjoyed exploring. The deck would have been lovely to use, but we struck a very wet weekend unfortunately. The lazy boy chairs have to be the most comfortable we've encountered on our travels, so enjoyed relaxing in those after a busy day! The house was mostly clean, but the vanity in the bathroom hadn't been cleaned and there was dried toothpaste and hair left on it. The kitchen seemed well equipped, but as we travel with our own little kit of essentials we didn't use any of the cutlery or crockery. Overall, a great base to enjoy the Taupo region and bonus points for being dog friendly. Would happily stay again.
