Staying with Julie was so lovely. She is a very down to earth, kindhearted and loving Kiwi. It always felt as if I was staying with a friend rather then a stranger and I felt so welcome.
The house is bright, clean and furnished well with good WIFI and plenty of room to move.
The breakfast was lovely and Julie has a good selection of bread, cereal, fruit and yoghurt as well as hot drinks that you can help yourself to.
Only a very short drive to the heart of Taupo and easy distance to shops etc.
I would highly recommend staying with Julie and would definitely stay with her again if I'm ever in Taupo again.
