We stayed at many AirBnBs during our trip to New Zealand, and this was by far our favorite. We had an entire floor to ourself including an en suite, mini fridge and coffee/tea maker. We had a car, but walked everywhere we went in town because of the great location. Leslie was also a wonderful host, including having some delicious homemade cookies for our arrival. We would highly recommend this charming cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay in Taupo.
