We stayed at Keren & Ruperts place for 3 nights. The checkin was so smooth, we had all the updated much prior to our visit to Taupo.
Keren was so helpful that she did receive our call even though we checked in late and guided us to settle down at her place without much of a hassle.
The stay is located in very good residential area and within proximity of all major tourist attractions of Taupo.
Keren and Rupert stay upstairs but the house is designed in such way that we had our privacy during our stay.
I would definitely recommend the place for all the couples, who are planning to visit Taupo and looking for budget friendly/clean/comfortable /closer to city kind of place.
