    The rental was ideal for the Ironman race week - off the course enough that road closures didn't impact but close enough to get everywhere via bike.

    The guest book read like a list of things not to do, rather than a welcome to the property, hence we did not use anything that 'wasn't ours' in the kitchen! Crockery had dried on food, assume it had been throught the disherwasher and not checked, sauce pans not fully clean, place mats not wiped down. No bins/boxes for recycling, no yellow bag under sink for rubbish as stated, hence we had to dispose of our own recycling. Pile of dirty laundry on floor in wardrobe. Bath towels were very old and shabby, not what we would expect to find in a holiday home. All in all very disappointing for the money we paid.

    Lovely lakeside bach, warm and well equipped. Great for our stay doing the Taupo Marathon. Close enough to the town centre to be easy without getting caught up in Marathon traffic.
