We were absolutely blown away by Alex' and Kate's hospitality - if only we could give them more than five stars... The location is beautiful, the rooms we had were very clean and stylishly decorated, the pets are super-cute, and the hosts became new friends! As a tour operator (www.realkiwitours.nz), Alex knows the area inside out and gave us great advice what to do and where to go. This is the place to be at Lake Taupo. Thanks guys, you rock!!!
