We had a wonderful time staying at Anna's house in Taupo. She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! The house is very large and extremely well equipped - my husband commented we didn't have a better equipped kitchen in any other Airbnb we stayed at in New Zealand. This is much appreciated as we cooked all meals at the house. The laundry is handily located in the garage with a laundry basket (it's the little things!) for your use. Great location - just a few minutes walk to the lake. I walked with our baby and the stroller one day into town -- very accessible path and easy with the buggy. We had a great stay!
