This is one of my best Airbnb experiences. My partner and I wanted to take a break in Taupo on our way to Auckland. The house is situated on a hill amidst lush greenery. The views are stunning with calming birdsong from time to time. Alan greeted us shortly after we arrived and kindly explained the house rules. The room, bathroom and lounge were as per description. We had a wonderful rest and a pleasant shower the next morning. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast on the dining table with a beautiful morning view. Elaine greeted us with warmth and we had a chat about life for a good 20 minutes after breakfast. We will definitely pick this Airbnb for a weekend away in Taupo.
