Had a great few days at Lesley’s place exploring Taupo. The place itself is actually much more spacious in person! Super clean and lots of homely touches, with a lovely outdoor area in the shade for relaxing. It’s part of the main house but you’d barely know it- the house is very large and the entrance is seperate. Perhaps the best part was making some doggo friends- we loved meeting Piper and Chilli!
We also got some great recommendations from Lesley about the local area, and it’s only a couple minutes drive from the main township. We would have walked into town occasionally (looked to be about 35 mins) but the heatwave put a stop to that! Would stay again for sure.
