Jonny and maaike were SO wonderful to meet and chat with and their home was very comfortable. We had the place to ourselves and spent a lovey rainy day relaxing -- it was very cozy. The kitchen is stocked with everything to cook so a stay for a few days is perfect. Jonny and maaike have a tonne of good suggestions, as they know the area well. Their tips made for a great stay in taupo! Bonus was meeting the dog, who is adorable!
