Maureen was an amazing host and made us feel really welcome throughout our stay. This started with giving us tips for the Tongariro crossing and continued with waking up early to make breakfast on the morning of the hike and snacks when we returned. Maureen offered a great packed lunch for the price which was really convenient for the hike. She also seems to know everything in Taupo and gave recommendations on food and areas of interest.
The room itself is really homely and clean while having access to a private bathroom. Overall highly recommend staying at Maureen’s if travelling to Taupo!
