Lovely clean 2 bedroom studio our family of 6 for 1 night. Check in a breeze, the place is away from the hustle and bustle of Taupo but easy enough to walk in or drive if need be. Fish n Chip shop and 4 square across the road anyway as well. Kids enjoyed the spa bath. Would stay again for a larger family.
