Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceeded our expectations! This house exceeded our expectations! We had no idea how spacious it was for our family to spread out. The view of Lake Taupo was beautiful, the sunsets were even better, the fires in the fireplace place made our stay so cozy, we enjoyed the walks along the Great Lake Pathway and found the Five Mile Bay location out of town but close enough to go into eat and explore perfect. Highly recommend it! ##### Kristen P. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary H.
