Have most of the holiday makers started to head home? We were there last week and it was a constant drone of power boats whose motors have grown in parallel with the size of the double cab utes required to tow them, and the whine of jetskis from about 7am in the morning.

I love it at Lake Taupo but around Christmas / New Years the number of power boats just ruins it for me.

Most have headed off, which is great.

I kind of hate the boats.

Not enough sailboats up there, way too many over powered 250HP plus inadequacy compensation devices.
