Superb host, awesome home! We stayed at Maureen's for two days and absolutely loved it! The house is very well maintained and the view from the patio is amazing.
We did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on the first day. As mentioned in the listing, Maureen packed a lovely lunch for us that was more than sufficient. She also arranged door to door transport to and from the Crossing. We had opted for dinner that night at her place and it was wholesome and very delicious. Special mention to the date pudding and the tomato relish that Maureen had prepared. They were yummm! We would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a homely stay in Taupo! We wish we had stayed for longer!
