“This lakeside location makes it a fantastic base, and the option of rooms with private hot tubs definitely piqued my interest; the café's lake views, I imagine, are quite memorable over coffee. It strikes me as a spot particularly well-suited to couples or families looking for both adventure and relaxation near Taupo's attractions.”
