This is a peaceful retreat with double glazed windows in the bedrooms and your own private garden. For kids there's a treehouse in the Walnut tree with its own sandpit underneath, and everyone else there's the Spa, with its own pagola, perfect rain or shine to sit back and relax. Sunrise or starlight, it's a wonderful way to start or close your day. The house is very close to both the lake and Taupo town centre, with many shops and restaurants a 5 minute drive. It's also an easy walk to many of the fun activities Taupo has to offer, from bungee jumping to bush walks, mini golf to the world heritage Tongariro Crossing.
