I can’t think of a single reason not to stay here. The studio is adorable and so well designed. The neighborhood is sweet and calm with the peripheral things of Taupō walkable. The amenities are a considerate bonus. But the reason you can’t pass this up is because of Steph. She is one of the kindest and warmest people you’ll meet. She picked me up and dropped me off because the local buses weren’t in service when I got in. She’s up for convo and has a wealth of knowledge and care. I only wish I could have stayed longer :)
