Our stay at the Lake Tarawera house was just wonderful! The place was perfectly equipped and offered us a fantastic view of the lake and the majestic Mount Tarawera. The tranquility and idyll of this location were unique and made our time there an unforgettable experience. Our hosts, Dave and Angie, were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always very quick to respond to our requests, which made us feel well looked after. You can tell they're passionate about hosting and want to make sure their guests feel completely comfortable. We can highly recommend this place and would love to come back anytime. Thank you Dave and Angie for your hospitality and this great experience!
