Catherine and Kevin’s place is stunning and it comes with little thoughtful touches throughout the place. These thoughtful perks, made our trip to Taupo/NZ that little extra special.
Upon arriving Catherine had turned on the outside light for us, since we were late that evening. There was thoughtful little touches like the delicious cookies, farm fresh milk & chocolate. It went well after dinner, with some local NZ wine. We are so happy to be travelling again and appreciate how friendly and helpful they were.
The cottage is stunning and beautifully laid out. There’s the right amount of firewood for the wood burning fireplace and hot tub- plus wood for the outdoor fire pit. We found the wood burning fireplace, kept us warm during the cold winter night. Tip- turn off the cottage lights and watch the light of the fire and distant lights from Lake Taupo. If there was a clear night, you would see the stars.
Speaking of the view! It’s absolutely gorgeous and especially amazing to wake up to. We loved the skylight above the bed. It was a gentle way to wake up, as the sun rose over your bed. ☺️
We would recommend this place in a heartbeat! Couples on a weekend getaway or something special- this is the perfect place to stay.
FYI- we stayed during the winter and it was perfectly cozy. The views are stunning no matter the season. During the winter, you can see the storm roll in around you and capture spectacular cloud formations.
Highly recommended stay! And we would return for sure. 😍
Thank you,
Celia and Chris
