Great Location for getaway

Perfect location between the mountains for playing in the snow, and Taupo to do the touristy sight-seeing. House was comfortable, and nice cafe on the corner of the road-great food.

Was family holiday home growing up

My husbands grandparents built this Motuoapa holiday home in the mid 1950's. (Their photo is on the wall in the lounge) It was lovely for him and our family to spend a weekend there with a lot of reminiscing. It's changed some what over the years. It has a great location to the lake and walks in the area. We had 3 generations staying and it worked well with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. We will definately be back.

Cosy & warm

Great warm & cosy option for accommodation for a winter snow getaway with the family, less than 10 min from Turangi - lovely outlook onto the lake. Nice to have 2 living areas so the kids can have a space to stretch out and plenty of games & puzzles if the weather isn't nice.
