The stay at Alex’s accomodation was just awesome. Unfortunately we had some rainy days in Taupo but we were lucky to stay with Alex. She is a tour guide, so who would be better to give perfect recommendations what to do on rainy days and where to have good dinner :-) Alex house is a short drive (5 min) from Taupo, so not directly located in the city, but in a beautiful quiet area. The room and our own bathroom were very specious, just beautiful decorated and the bed was one of the biggest and coziest we slept in on our whole trip. We had wonderful chats with Alex and felt welcome and home right away. We highly recommend staying at her place.
