We are a group of 6 people stayed in Fernando's place in Taupo. He has excellent communication and responded quickly to any queries. His place was warm and neat. In total, we highly recommend Fernando's cozy place if you are planning to stay in Taupo.
The following places were too close to Fernando's place: shops in city centre (14 mins driving), thermal pool (11 mins. driving), Taupo's scenic look out (7 mins driving), Mcdonald chain where you can dine-in inside a real airplane (12 mins. driving) and enjoy prawn fishing (15 mins. driving). They were some more outdoor activities to try for adventures lovers like Huka falls track and jet riding for 40 mins.
