Alan and Elaine’s place is beautiful. The room has its own bathroom which is nice, clean, and modern. The room itself has its own entrance, which offers plenty of privacy. That said Alan and Elaine are such nice and hospitable people that you'll surely want to chat with them a bit during your stay, especially for restaurant recs in Taupo. We stayed here and hiked Tongariro Crossing which worked out quite nicely. We only stayed one night, but wished we stayed longer– the property is amazing with beanbags overlooking a great view down the hill. Would definitely stay here again!
