Amazing holiday home
We had such a lovely stay in Taupo and our accommodation was key to this. We were warm and dry and the home was lovely to come back to after a day at the drifting track.
Heaps of space and room for multiple activities and we loved being able to bring our doggos.
Thanks heaps we really appreciated our stay!

House was clean, spacious, enough blankets! Water pressure was amazing! Nice and friendly environment. The gas heater smelt quite gasy so we didn’t use it. Overall would recommend this place!
