The property was easy to access, very clean and tidy with excellent views and lots of sun (when it wasn’t raining!). It was well located with quick access to Taupo shopping area and parks etc. The kids could their bikes into town to the playgrounds. So highly recommended.

If you are looking for a 3br, 2 bathroom home that suits three couples, I highly recommend this property. It's close to town and all three bedrooms (one with en suite) have couple-sized beds. This is a rarity in Taupō! This was an ideal, cosy base for a family birthday celebration.
