We had a great stay Julie's house. It's a beautiful house with such thoughtful touches. We lost track of time just speaking with her. She was so warm and easy to converse with, gave us many local tips and her family was very mindful and respectful of us and our space. The room was cosy and the bathrooms were perfect. We wish we had more time to spend at your house, but the next time we are in Taupo we will get back in touch :)
