Kirstin is an amazing host! Great communication before and during our stay with clear instructions and a helpful welcome book with suggestions for activities and restaurants upon arrival. She kindly delivered bread and milk as well which was so kind. My partner and I loved exploring Taupo on the e-bikes, they are such an awesome amenity to have at our disposal so we could fit in as many sights as possible during our short one night stay. So fun and now we’re planning to buy ourselves electric bikes for our own home! :) I love Kirstin’s decor and style and her garden is heavenly! Quiet, peaceful, yet central to everything. Definitely check out the Botanic Gardens and wander along the lakeshore. I wish we could’ve stayed a few more nights — we highly recommend Kirstin’s place!
