We stayed for four nights and felt like home immediately. Super clean place with lots of space. Kitchen was well equipped. Very nice wooden deck with access to a wonderful private sunny garden. Washing machine and dryer are provided in a separate small cabin attached to the cottage. Nice and big shower. Separate toilet. Comfy bed with electric blankets. Everything was exactly as shown/described on Airbnb. Quiet neighbourhood – no noises will disturbe your sleep. We liked it so much, we spontaneously extended our stay. Ideal location to explore Taupo area as well as Tongariro attractions (approx. 20 mins to Ketetahi car Park for TAC). 5 mins drive to big supermarket, gas station etc. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
