We had a great time at Jacqui's place. It was perfect for our stay at Taupo during the winter school holidays. Although there was a cold snap, Jacqui made sure the place was cosy by lighting the fire before we arrived. The fire was great, plenty of firewood and there were also heaters for the individual rooms with a DVS heat transfer system too. The place is roomy and far better than staying a poky motel. There is a neat little takeaway and mini supermarket 1min walk away. About 5min drive to central Taupo. Quiet street. The decor was funky and fun. Great value.
