Lovely to meet Mel who provided the perfect space for our stay in Taupo ... feeling fortunate that my first AirBnB experience will be hard to beat ... the breakfast treats and fresh flowers were a lovely touch (not to mention the choc fingers!!), and the view is magic - especially at dawn .. a truly cosy and eclectic wee pad Mel has created - a relaxing and quiet space to recover from an ultra event .. check in and out is easy, friendly and prompt communication, location location location - we'll definitely stay again when returning to Taupo, and will highly recommend. Kindest wishes, Michael & Jane :-)
