Awesome place to stay in, Sandra was an awesome host with her beautiful friendly dog Cliff. Sandra told us that if we needed anything, just to let her know...but the place was so well organized that we didn't need anything. As it says, not far at all from central Taupo. Great fish n chips at The Fish Box, may pay to phone order before hand. We had to wait an hour and 10 minutes for our meal, but well worth it. Another great place, very reasonable price, beautiful succulent meals is at The Chicken Bowl. I'd recommend Sandra's Airbnb to anyone that was looking for somewhere to stay in Taupo.
