    The hosts were so welcoming and lovel to chat with. The breakfast was very nice. Set me up for the day :) It was a quiet spot and not too far from central Taupo. The bed was very comfy.

    Lodge right across the Lake and familiar beach. Not in the city center but walkable distance. Close to Sunday market. Quiet at night. Very clean. Hostess polite and communicative. Gave us some tips about NZ and the area. Had everything needed for a cople of days. Swimming pool temperature just right. Free parking. Wifi worked well. Overalll right price for the facilities offered. If it had a stovetop it would be perfect (for me). Great restaurant nearby (Mole & Chicken)
