Quick trip from oz

Check in was so easy and straight forward, everything was accessible & clean. Our family had great sleeps in comfy beds with warm blankets included. It rained all weekend so the kids stayed in & hung out with each other playing board games And would quickly go to the park only 30mins away when there was a break in the weather. Comfy, warm & clean. Nice getaway weekend in Taupo Bay, can’t wait to go back again

Good amenities and location

Lovely cottage for a family. We only had 2 staying but there is plenty of space for more. Bonuses are: nice deck and deck chairs; fish cleaning station (wonderful for our first fishing charter); outdoor shower, huge fenced section and full size fridge freezer. Our family stayed in another holiday home that did not have amenities as good as this one.
