We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Stephen's place in Taupo - it was a perfect size for our family of five and every amenity was provided, even a washing machine which was very useful after travelling for a few days. Very clean, neat and tidy and very comfy beds! It was great having separate rooms for us and the kids. The provision of board games and books was also very welcomed. The added bonus of the wood fired Hot Tub in the backyard was fantastic and was lovely to come home for a soak after a long day of sightseeing! It was great to be able to cook on the BBQ for dinner at home as well. A great location - close to town and supermarkets, and also the attractions in the area. Stephen's tips on the hot springs and Craters of the Moon in Taupo were great! We will definitely be back again when next in Taupo and highly recommend Stephen's place.
