What I read about Maureen's place (reviews) were all correct and true.
Physical aspects are perfect.
Her house is located in a beautiful and safe location, very short drive to the town centre.
The room and the bathroom are new, clean, and comfortable. Amenities are more and better than what good/expensive hotels would provide; from towels to teas.
On the software side, it was just a charming experience. Maureen is caring, kind, lovely, and equipped with all the information needed for exploring and enjoying Taupo.
Starting with welcoming snacks to the breakfast, you will be treated like a loved and important person by Maureen.
Taupo is lucky to have her.
