We absolutely loved staying with Jude. From the moment we arrived on her driveway, she made us feel incredibly welcome, it was wonderful. Jude was friendly, kind and generous and her house was lovely. The bed was super comfy and everything was super clean and in great condition. The house is also in a fab location just down the road from the beautiful Huka falls. We really wished we could have stayed longer - two nights was definitely not enough time to do Taupo justice - so much more to see! Jude helped us plan our two days though and gave us much appreciated local advice and assistance! We were so sorry to leave - it was almost like leaving home all over again! We will definitely come back to Taupo and definitely will return to Jude and her wonderful place. We can't recommend her enough!
