We can recommend 100% to stay at Jonny & Maaike's airbnb.
You receive all important info upfront, so that you are able to find the place and do the self- check-in pretty easily.
Maaike and Jonny live in their own house right next to the place and welcomed us in the evening.
They are both really kind and are happy to help you or give you advices about Taupo and area.
The house was always very clean. We really enjoyed to have a fully equipped kitchen after travelling 8 months before in a van. Some bread and jam, eggs, cereals, coffee and tea are also provided for breakfast. Since it was Winter it was also nice to have a heater in our room and in shared living room, so that it was nice and cozy.
We really felt like home. Thanks Maaika and Jonny.
