Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We were looking for a restful winter minibreak (3 nights) and this accommodation delivers this and more. We were welcomed by our hosts who were so friendly and helpful during our stay. The rooms were warm, clean and comfortable with incredible views of the lake and mountains from the balcony. The thermal pools were a treat. There is direct access to the Lake Taupo walkway, close to shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.
