We had SUCH a nice time staying here! Magrete and Dempster are such such SUCH nice Hosts! They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable – particularly due to the fact that we were travelling with a small child! They had so much interestig information to tell us about the area. The location is close to Taupo and close to Roturua, close to Hobbiton and close to the vulcano national park (Tongarino crossing). It is the pefect location to get everywhere within the area without too much of a drive.
Magrete and Dempster took us wakeboarding, golfing and up into the mountains. We cooked a meal together and generally just had a great time with them – however they also respected our privacy and so we always felt vey comfortable.
The house is a great little hide away – particularly for families. There were many books and toys for the little one. The kitchen was extremly well equipped and the living room was very comfortable. Everything was super clean and well looked after.
The house is a 5 minute walk to a beautiful lake. There is a small cafe and a really good playground right by the lake. 5 minutes into the other direction is a small golf course – perfect for an easy going, fun round. A good shop is a 1 minute drive up the road.
We loved our week with Margrete and Dempster and hope to come back some time in the future!!
