Such a lovely spot in Taupo! The room I stayed in was clean, cute, and had a lovely view of the mountain out the window. Verna provides a really nice continental breakfast and she and her partner were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable in their home. The bathroom is a share with other potential guests (there are 2 rooms she rents out), but never was an issue for me as our schedules were different enough we never needed the restroom at the same time. Finally, you can't beat the location that is just steps to the lake front and about a 10 minute walk to the main part of town. Would definitely recommend to others!
