Leslie maintained excellent communication with us prior to our arriving at her home. It was very private, cozy and so well organized; also a tad different from the homes we'd seen in the past. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into giving us the great experience we got (where items were placed in the room, the bathroom, the coffee/tea, etc...). The home made cookies were a nice personal touch. #FeelingPampered. In addition, there are good views from the room, and the location is close enough to where it all happens in Taupo. A truly memorable stay for us :)
