Penny and Gary’s place is very quiet, cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting on the little deck enjoying their beautiful and peaceful back yard. Everything is very clean and well maintained and the house is in a quiet neighbourhood, only a short walk to Taupo. We found the location to be convenient for shopping and restaurants. In fact we rarely used our car on our stay in Taupo. Penny and Gary are friendly, outgoing hosts who enjoy sharing their love for New Zealand and their area. We loved getting to know them and appreciated their generous hospitality. We would highly recommend staying here!
