Maureen and Ian are true SUPER HOSTS and make you feel welcome like your family would. Their residence is straight out of a House&Garden magazine with all you can imagine provided, even bathing robes and slippers. The bathroom is more beautiful and spacious than most prestigious hotels and the towels, bedding and linen are absolute hotel quality! Maureen is going the extra mile to make your stay very special and memorable. My son (10) and I stayed for two nights, as part of his birthday treat. Maureen spoiled him with ice-creams, brownies and beautiful breakfasts as well as a BBQ dinner, which was exquisite. After all, I felt like this was not only my son's but also my own birthday treat. They even gave us a lift into town in order to start our Taupo Cycle Challenge. THANK YOU, Maureen and Ian. We shall be back!
