    We like to give our guests their privacy but we is available by phone or text to answer any questions and we are only ever 10-15 minutes drive away if needed in an emergency.

    This is a very safe and family friendly neighbourhood.

    Rotorua is only one hours drive and Hawkes Bay within 1.5 hours drive for a day of sightseeing and for the active traveller the Ski field and Tongariro crossing is an 1.5 hours drive. The Glowworm Caves are also 2 hours drive and Hobbiton 1.5 hours making Taupo the heart of the North Island and the perfect place to stay and explore from.
