This space was very clean, cheerful, and bright. The bed is very comfortable. The heat pump filled the space with a delicious warmth on a cold night. The kitchen has what one would need to prepare meals. There is a toaster, French press coffee maker, pots and pans, various dishes, as well as cleaning tools and supplies. A very livable and private space. We were there for only a night, regretting that we did not meet our hosts, and also that we could not stay longer and experience all that is offered in the booking. The address was easy to find and the hosts' arrival directions were clear, and they provided good instructions on connecting to wifi and other helpful info. We appreciate the giant loaf of fresh bread that we found on a cutting board in the kitchen when we arrived. We devoured half of it for breakfast the next morning. The town is four minutes by car down the hill to the lakefront, and there are many other Taupo places of interest nearby. Overall, Dierdrei and Richard's airbnb is welcoming and very suitable for short and long stays.
