Peaceful Green Outlook
This house suited our family and friends well. We were in Taupo for a sporting event and it was lovely to come back and sit on the balcony and look at beautiful trees , as opposed to looking straight into another house. It was also nice having views of the lake. Clean and close to a group of shops and the boat club its in a great spot. The only negitive was the musty smell upstairs from the carpet being cleaned im guessing. The house just needed airing out. So all in all a lovely two story house to stay at. Having the 2 bathrooms with showers was a plus !& the kitchen had everything we needed Great communication with Stephen also and thanks to the cleaner Hope , for posting my shoes back!
