We had a great ling weekend in tsupo, the house was warm and well equiped with everything we needed.
The property felt very safe with the automatic gates, and the park across the road was a hit with our 9yo.
We look forward to visiting in summer to take advantage of the deck and lovely view.

My family (myself, husband, child, and two grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed this very handsome home just a short walk from everything in Taupo. The home's owner, Denise, was incredibly gracious and kind by making sure we had everything we needed for the entire duration of our stay. I loved that there was plenty of space for everyone the spread out and the bedrooms were very comfortable. I would absolutely stay at this location again and am already looking forward to my next visit to Taupo!

We loved our stay and it really was a home away from home. There are a lot of amenities that make it comfortable. The house was very warm and cosy which was a delight to arrive to.
It was very much appreciated having the Chromecasts connected to both TVs so we could stream our shows with ease. The house had pretty much everything you need and the secure parking is a bonus.
We’d love to stay here again.
