Raewyn & Kevin have been hosting guests for quite a while, but they are still open, welcoming, & friendly. It was wonderful to have a chat with them about their experiences, and they showed us their amazing fruit trees, chooks, & veggie patch. Their home is very convenient to Taupo, yet out of the hustle & bustle of the tourist strip. It's just up the road from the famous river area. We also appreciated having our own private bathroom connected to our bedroom. Warmly recommended!
