What a fantastic stay! Tricia is welcoming and chatty, recommending some great bars/restaurants in the area and some hiking tips, but she also respected our privacy. She let us check in earlier than stated which was much appreciated. Her studio is possibly the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Stylishly decorated, cosy, and with all the extra touches. Acacia Bay is a beautiful location for exploring Taupo, and you’d be a fool not to stay at Tricias place! Highly highly recommend.
