We wish we could give this place a thousand stars! Maureen and Ian went above and beyond as our hosts, making us feel like part of their family. Their modern and stylish home next to the beautiful Lake Taupo provided a wonderful backdrop for their incredibly warm hospitality and our cozy stay. Maureen provided abundant local tips and helped us plan our route with discounted coupons for eateries/bookings. She spoke fondly and knowledgeably of various fishing spots around New Zealand, and provided us with a delicious breakfast in the morning as a send off. We will definitely reach out to Maureen and Ian again in the future if we are in the area. Best Airbnb experience!!!
