I had enough of listening to my parents wishing to see the family but not being able to come up and visit us because of the sports team dad was coaching so I jumped onto the net and did a search on bed and breakfast lake taupo new zealand nz, picked a place and booked it for our family to come down to him. We chose a beautiful place right on the water’s edge that had thermal spa’s, great spacious rooms and was child friendly. We couldn’t stay with mum and dad as they moved to a little apartment not too long ago, the kids would drive them nuts as they are at that age where the’re ridiculously loud and active. We ended up having a great lunch with the family after dad’s team one their game.
