Lakefront Lodge Taupo
Used to love coming here unfortunately its gone downhill since ny last visit. Room had a bad smell the whole time and there wasnt much space at all the bed just fits.. shower was cheap and nasty floor kept creaking. Curtains dont even shut fully and they themselves looked like someone had just converted ...
