A friend and I had a two night stay in Taupo at Tom and Wanda's place. The hosts house is conveniently located a short walk into town. Tom and Wanda's hospitality is by far the best I've experienced in all my time using AirBnB, I can highly recommend their rooms.
There is two rooms, one on-suite and another with a small lounge, toilet and kitchenette. The rooms are downstairs so you have enough privacy from the hosts. All in all we found everything we need, it was really clean, very stylish and very comfortable.
We'll definitely stay with Tom and Wanda again.
