The place is diamond! The hosts are friendly. On top of that, the place is clean, warm, spacious, well maintained and the view is beautiful. It is at the back of the host house on top of garage. Yet privacy is plenty and very quiet neighborhood. The host let us park our car in garage which help alot specially on rainy days where we have small baby. The location is great, close to everything restaurants, supermarket and all. Check in and out also easy and quick. I would really recommend this place for those who want a quality stay in Taupo.
