Our stay at Anna's place in Taupo was pleasant. There was a good communication until the arrival. After that we didn't get messages and we didn't see anybody, so a personal quote is not possible.
The appartement was very well equipped, there was a washing machine, an oven and microwave, toaster, fridge etc. As well as bed linen and towels. Fruits and milk were also made available at the start. Nice and thanks very much for that.
Taupo is a good start point for several trips and hikes.
Unfortunately you cannot influence the weather. Rain has somewhat messed up our program.
