This accommodation is simply perfect! Helen gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived and showed us around. She even invited us to use her private kitchen, living room and roof terrace (stunning view on Lake Taupo!) upstairs - which was great for us for having breakfast and working. As Helen had to work from early in the morning and only came back in the evening, we had almost the whole house for our free use.
Our rooms downstairs were quite spacious, modern and very clean. In the garage there was a fridge for our use, already equipped with water and glasses. And in the small downstairs living room Helen had prepared everything for having coffee or tea.
Taupo is a lovely small town, there are many restaurants and the Tongariro Crossing is only about 1h20 away. The Countdown supermarket opens 7 days a week from 7am to 11pm and you can reach it in only 5 minutes by car from Helen‘s home.
We only can highly recommend this place and would always come back here on our NZ holidays!
