Stayed at Samantha’s place for a family visit to Taupo (with a 3yo). The property was a welcome relief from the busy town centre but close enough (10-15mins) to anywhere we wanted to go. Samantha was quick with communication and had helpful local tips that were a real hit - like visiting Kinloch for swimming. While the accommodation is just next to Samantha’s house, we felt it was private and that we could contact her if we needed to. She very much knows how to give people their space. Loved feeding the animals, the view and watching the stars at night. Thanks Samantha!
