I had a lovely stay in Taupō at Juliet’s cottage! She was a warm host, greeting me after I arrived and making me instantly feel welcome. The place itself was clean, very spacious, and well equipped for those looking to stay a few nights or longer. It was also very well situated for whatever you might want to do: a quick drive 5 minute to town center, an easy walk down to the lake front, and close to the highway if you’re planning to head to down to Tongariro National Park (which I did). I’d recommend!
