Five of us stayed at Steve's place. It's a very spacious house with great day and night views of Taupo. Each of the bedrooms has a shower which is very convenient. The second day of our stay was raining and cold and we had the fireplace going which was cozy and improved our travel experience. Steve was very accommodating. He not only allowed us to check in earlier but also came to tell us how to use the fireplace the second day. I would recommend people to stay at this highly reasonably priced place.
