Dierdrei is a lovely host and Taupo’s Treat is a cozy and clean cottage. The gardens are lovely, the chickens are the friendliest I’ve ever met, and the accommodations were perfect for our small family of 3. The little touches throughout were very thoughtful (toys and dishes for the little one, fresh bread, milk, and jam, veges and lemons in the garden, etc). Dierdrei and her family also provided lots of recommendations and local intel on the best places to eat and things to do around town. We loved our stay and would definitely be back in the future!
