We stayed at Julie's for two nights while we were visiting Taupo. The house was very clean and beautifully maintained inside and outside. Julie was very prompt and responsive in the communication before the check in. On the day of arrival we were quite late as we were driving in from Auckland, and Julie was kind enough to stay up late for us to make sure the check in was smooth.
The room that we stayed in was very clean, quite big, with comfortable bed and a very spacious bathroom. The patio deck attached to the room had spectacular views of "The Lodge at Kinloch" and its golf course. A mini fridge had milk and other necessities right in the room. Julie had also provided two folders with details about the amenities and recommendations about activities and interests in and around Taupo.
The morning breakfast was very well prepared with fresh fruits and homemade marmaldes. We had access to the kitchen, living area and the sunroom all the time. Julie and Charles were extremely friendly and showed great hospitality during our stay. Their lovely dog Molly is one of the sweetest pet we have met.
Overall, our stay was fantastic and we would stay again at Julie's if we ever visit the region again.
