Tim and Kate have a lovely room with ensuite (and parking) situated very conveniently in Taupo. We stayed for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. It was the perfect base for all activities we wanted to do. Kate was very kind to provide recommendations for hikes and also fishing, and Tim was kind enough to offer his time and knowledge in this interest of mine as well. I can't recommend this place and couple enough to those looking for a welcoming home away from home in Taupo.
