We loved Fiona and Adrien's Magpie Manor in Taihape! Handy to the main route, yet quite and still with a country feel. It is a beautiful home; fresh and clean and gorgeously decorated. The beds so comfortable and the breakfast delicious - we were heading off early and Fiona kindly made us an early breakfast with an amazing spread including homemade goodies. the upstairs balconies with comfortable sofas were divine in the warm evening sun. We wish we could have stayed longer. We would recommend to anyone and we hope to return!
