Raewyn’s place overlooks much of the Taupo basin and is lovely. They (Raewyn and Kevin) offer breakfast with your stay which includes fresh fruit from their backyard, amazing local yogurt, and eggs from their chickens if you choose. They are very knowledgeable of things to to do, throughout New Zealand and abroad; they are well traveled themselves, and have great stories to tell. They make you feel welcome and my wife and I enjoyed their company. You won’t be disappointed.
