Her home was like an Oasis, such a cute sweet home. We loved Jo’s little place only 1km from downtown Taupo. So convenient. Very comfortable. Beautiful plates and bowls. Everything you need except if your a gourmet cook, she is a little sparse on the pots and pans selection and I only found one lid for a saucepan, so perfect unless your looking to create a gourmet meal there! Super clean and well kept in a nice neighborhood near town.
