This really is a peaceful haven! Anne's lovely self contained space is in a quiet back garden a short stroll from town and the lakeside. The bed is superbly comfortable and we were woken by bird song in the morning. The whole place is stylish and modern with a great shower and a clever little kitchen including a kettle, toaster, hot plate and oven - meaning we could cook breakfast each day. Anne was a perfect host, welcoming and accommodating, and her cat is gorgeous. An ideal place to go explore the incredible sites around Taupo from and a home from home to come back to after a long day hiking.
