We had a lovely stay with Raewyn. The listing was exactly as described- a beautiful, large country home and gardens near Huka falls and easy distance into Taupo. We very much enjoyed our conversation with Raewyn and the wonderful mountain photographs taken by Kevin. At breakfast, we were treated to fresh eggs from their own hens! what a treat. We would highly recommend staying at Taupo Country Home and Gardens if you are in the wonderful Lake Taupo/ Tangoriro National Park area. Raewyn also gave us great advice on visiting the Park, which is exceptional.
