Very close to Taupo town the lake love exploring Taupo but the thing is was bit too small for a family for 4 was tiny beds very comfortable wish they had a tv in adults room and bigger kitchen and pool would be good but other than that we all enjoyed staying there highly recommended for smaller families like one child and two adults or jus two adults
