We spent four nights at Jenny and Callum's place and it was just great! They made us feel incredibly welcome and treated us almost as family. From the living room you have a great view over lake Taupo and the wonderful sunrises over the Mt. Ngauroe and Mt. Tongariro. We did the Tongariro Crossing from here as well. 20min walking along the lakeside to city center. We can highly recommend staying with Jenny and Callum!
