Host review score
This one bedroomed flat is attached to our home with a shared laundry space. It is fully self contained and is quiet and private. It is light and sunny and fully equipped with everything you need. There is a carport attached for your use and extra storage space available if required. Note: There are two King single beds and bedding. A comfortable and modern space with a fully equipped kitchenette, unlimited internet, tv, books and games. Simple continental breakfast items provided.
We leave you to yourselves unless you have questions or requirements we can help with. We have lived in Taupo most of our lives and have extensive knowledge of the area. We are an almost retired couple who enjoy spending time in our home and town.
We are at the top end of Acacia Bay Road, close to Poihipi Road. It is a quiet property and across the road from farmland. Just a 3 minute drive from town, but with rural views in a quiet residential spot. 7 minutes from Craters of the Moon thermal area, Wairakei Terraces hot pools, Wairakei Golf Course, Huka Falls and loads of other popular activities and sights.
