The Unit was somewhat dated, but clean and comfortable. On-site parking is pretty sparse and not easy to manoevre. A big plus, - Free Wifi ! The owners were super-friendly and most helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

Only downside, our room was upstairs, so we had to carry our luggage up. It was the day of the New Zealand Iron Man championship when we... More

Pros - Spacious room, jacuzzi bath in bathroom, well-equipped kitchenette, fridge, big comfortable beds, spectacular view of Lake Taupo, convenient location, quiet Cons - Some flies in the room This is one of the most comfortable accommodations during our travel.
