“What stands out here is the direct access to Lake Taupo, making it ideal for beach lovers. The hot spring plunge pool adds a touch of relaxation, while self-contained accommodations with spa baths enhance the experience. I particularly like that it's close to both the lakefront and attractions like Huka Falls.”
