Maureen and Ian are extremely friendly, welcoming and thoughtful hosts. Their house is beautiful, with wonderful views looking over Lake Taupo from the back garden. It feels like you're staying in a 5 star hotel! Maureen really cannot do enough for you, so many little touches and she was full of suggestions of what to do in the local area. The breakfast was delicious both mornings. We really couldn't recommend these lovely people more highly. Thank you :)
