Dierdrei and Richard are fantastic hosts. Their place is charming and super clean. Location is excellent for me. It is very close to the lake and to most places in central Taupo. It is well equipped with everything one needs if one wants to cook. I did not cook. When I arrived there was a fresh loaf of home-baked bread waiting for me on the kitchen counter and things in the fridge that made my breakfast a joyous experience. I usually don’t eat breakfast at places I book on Airbnb, but this time it was a delicious exception. If you choose to use the kitchen, you will be looking through a window into a garden and at a grape wine. For me it was perfect and it plastered a smile on my face :). I strongly recommend the place and would not be looking anywhere else if I were staying in Taupo again.
