Dan’s place is awesome. We stayed here for 2 nights and it was perfect. Dan provides easy to follow instructions to find the place and was very gracious to let us check in early. We also used the washing machine which is so helpful when traveling. Perfect little kitchen area to store some groceries and make some easy lunches and dinners. Great location in Taupo close to anything you want to do, and an easy drive to Tongariro NP too! Dan responds very quickly to any requests and was so kind to mail me something I left behind (he found it before I realized it too). We would definitely recommend it!
