Thanks Paul, Christine and George! I was made to feel very welcome and cared for in a way that wasn't overbearing or calculating - just like we had known each other for years! George the schnauzer was a snuffling delight :)
The caravan is a slice of Paul and Chrisitine's life and home and has everything you could possibly want bar an oven (microwave compensates nicely), which is just amazing for the price. A continental breakfast was provided and topped up during my stay, which was useful given I was low on groceries when I arrived! The caravan's design is intuitive to use and makes marvelous use of space. I had the one side set up for the bed and the other for relaxing but there is an option to make a double bed too. The heating system has a quiet, intermittent rattle but I honestly don't know how you could expect anything else in the kind of space it is and it effortlessly kept me nice and toasty in the evenings.
I will definitely stay again should I find myself remote working from Taupo!!!
All the best guys :)
