It was a pleasant stay in Don’s house. The place is big , decent set up. It is clean and tidy. Don is also very kind to prepare healthy breakfast. He also recommend to do some shopping in Taupo town. It is only around 15 minutes. We all had great shopping for sporting goods. If you plan to go to Wellington from North, it is recommended this is the right stopover for a night. We respect Don has to go to work early in the morning, that is better to arrive earlier and has a quiet evening.
