Jane’s place is wonderful and Jane is an amazing host! Before we even arrived, she gave us recommendations on what we could see and places to eat at on our drive to Taupo. The apartment is comfortable and the updated bathroom is awesome. Jane and Zoe were friendly and we had some great conversations. It is about a 7-10 minute drive from downtown Taupo and a ton of restaurants and a 2 minute walk to a little private beach right on the lake. Jane had a life jacket for a out 2 year old, kayak and paddle board that we could use as well. We would absolutely stay at Jane’s place again!
