Paul is a wonderful host and his place is equally wonderful. Close to everything, clean, dry, and cozy; you won't want to leave. The space is well equipped with everything you could possibly need on a holiday getaway. We loved the wood stove for the chilly evenings and mornings, the selection of teas, the selection of books and magazines, the boardgames, and the overall homelike atmosphere. My daughter and I absolutely loved our time here. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in the Taupo area.
The house interior is a lockwood (I think thats what its called) design so it does creak a bit especially in the morning but this is typical of that design and not a bother.
Highly recommend! Great Value! Great Space! Great Host! Thanks Paul!
