The breakfast was 10/10 using locally sourced high quality products. The coffee also got a gold star.

This peaceful retreat provides an idyllic base to explore Taupo. The location was great. A two minute walk from a beautiful swimming beach on Lake Taupo. The unit was nice and big, like a small apartment. So much better than staying in one room with no room to move.
