Our stay at Maureen's was phenomenal. The room was fantastic and the bathrooms were spotless, everything about it was just so so good. We went down and stayed with her as we were running the half marathon, and she was so accommodating; allowing us to have a quick shower post race, making us amazing poached eggs, and even coming along to support us (though she just missed us haha). If you are ever in Taupo, Maureen and Ian's house is an amazing place to stay, with great hospitality and amenities, as well as a prime location! We would definitely stay there again!
