What a cool place to stay!Big open grounds — perfect for the dog and the kids to run around.Loved the outdoor fire burner Hot Tub, just didn’t have time to use it this trip.Very private location; it feels like you’re tucked away in the bush, yet only about 15 minutes from Taupo CBD.I’d definitely stay here again!
