The place is lovely and in a quiet neighbourhood. It has been done up so tastefully…the monochrome tones set off beautifully by the rust cushions and the coloured tea cups. The sensor lights in the bathroom were extremely helpful.. it’s a wonderful idea. Heather was wonderful to talk to, though we didn’t get much of a chance to chat at length since we were there just for two nights. The list of recommended cafes and restaurants was extremely thoughtful and helpful. And we didn’t have any problem with the parking :) We would definitely come back on our next visit to Taupo.
