We stopped through the Taupo area on our quick tour of the North Island just before Christmas. Alan and Elaine’s place was just perfect. We stayed for two nights, the room was beautifully clean and comfortable with our own private bathroom and access in and out. Lovely breakfast included and friendly chats each morning! Elaine even went to the trouble of picking up a certain brand of bread we happened to mention that we liked in passing, so thoughtful.
