Karen’s place was an absolute gem in Taupo! Upon arrival, my husband and I were so excited to see how unique their property is. Our spacious studio was above the garage and had a beautiful view of Lake Taupo. Self check-in was easily understandable and went seamlessly. The space was immaculately clean, the bed was cozy, and the studio itself was tastefully laid out and decorated. Down the street is a really cozy restaurant/bar that has fantastic pizza. It was a perfect stay with sunset views and pizza over the water within walking distance! Not to mention the downtown area is a short and easy drive away. Thank you again for such a wonderful stay!
