We stayed with Alex and Kate for 2 nights. Their home is in quiet Acacia Bay which is about 10 minutes outside of Taupo. The location is quiet and overlooks a lovely rural estate. Staying with Alex and Kate was like staying with family and friends. They made us feel relaxed and at home. They have 2 dogs and 2 cats all which share the home with you. The pets were wonderful company and very well behaved. I would highly recommend staying at this AirBnB.
