I thouroughly enjoyed my time in Taupo and at Raewyn's place. The entire family is welcoming, friendly and helpful. The dog was so friendly too. The house is beautiful with a magnificent view. The rooms are so beautiful and comfy. The breakfast was delicious! The location is so convenient and out of all the places I stayed this vacation, it was the only one that I didn't need the GPS to get to after the first time. Easy peasy.

It was raining everyday while I was at Taupo. It was a Godsend that we managed to use the washer and dryer while at Taupo. We didn't bring much clothes and stayed at a hotel the previous leg so had nearly nothing clean to wear when we arrived at Taupo...

It was my first trip to New Zealand so it was fabulous to get to sit around chatting to our first Kiwi friends... it made it much more than just a holiday. Hmm.. I think it's time for me to plan my next kiwi holiday....
