We very much enjoyed our stay at Taupos Treat! Richard and Dierdrei were such welcoming hosts; nothing was too much trouble and they made some great suggestions of places to visit during our stay. Our little boy loved bathing in the outdoor tub, chasing the chickens and playing in the garden. There were lots of thoughtful touches, such as books and dvds, beach towels, blankets etc. We found the kitchen to have most things we needed and used the washing machine too. This also made a great location for exploring Taupo (either on foot or by car) as well as further afield.
