Overall I am very satisfied staying here. We were greeted by Dan's mom, Brenda. Brenda is one of the friendliest people I have ever met, she gave me lots of suggestions and recommendations around Taupo. She ever briefly bring us around the stay, and shared some stories about her house. Too bad we don't have much time to stay and rest around, our trip was quite in a rush, I wish we had more time to sit down and chill more. The view and atmosphere there is pretty amazing, spacious, breezy and fantastic views.
