Brought my partner and mum (visiting from Canada) to spend the night+next day in Taupo and had such a nice start to the weekend staying in Stephen's place. Such a clean and well kept space - not to mention the beds were new and so comfortable! The decor was simple and conducive to relaxing and the washroom / shower facility were so nice we felt like we were in a hotel! The neighbourhood was quiet and safe and we would recommend anyone with or without kids to stay!
