Highly recommended place to stay in and visit Taupo from. Very well located, you can walk to the supermarket ( less than 10min ), visit the city center and it's restaurants and cafés very easily too.
Our stay was made perfect thanks to Maggie, Marty, Smudge and the shy-er Boots. They have been great hosts and always made sure we had everything we needed.
Large bedroom with smart TV for more rainy days, and beautiful garden and views when the sun is present.
Maggie drove us to the dam so we could start hiking around from there, and was always available to give us advices about local attractions.
We played cards with Marty and Maggie and it was a lot of fun too, I'm glad we stayed at their lovely home to visit Taupo :)
We highly recommended you stop there as Maggie and Marty are absolutely lovely, funny and friendly hosts that you won't forget !
