Our stay with Alex & Kate was fantastic and they were just the perfect hosts. We had some fantastic conversations in front of the cozy fireplace which felt as if we've known each other for years, complemented by beautiful New Zealand Red, while watching the All Blacks humiliate South Africa (which is the only part I can fault them on :)) joined by the four legged children. Beautiful modern bedrooms and bathroom, incredible nature and the amazing Lake Taupo only minutes away, just made for the perfect stay.
Highly recommended!
