This was our first time using Airbnb and we were completely blown away by how much we enjoyed the experience. The place was beautiful and the effort Alex and Kate went to make us feel welcome was second to none. Super comfy super-king bed, our own bathroom, the option to watch a movie in the second living area, delicious homemade chocolote banana cake, outdoor spa bath the list goes on. All great features, but what really made our stay memorable was getting to know Alex and Kate. We were actually in Taupo that weekend looking at properties, and the girls had a Property Press waiting for us when we arrived - that kind of thoughtfulness is just gold! If you are on Airbnb and looking for somewhere to stay in Taupo - then look no further.
