Don was an amazing host, he was warm and made us feel at home straight away. Don showed us around his house and explained where items were and how to use the laundry. The house was beautiful and clean and just as Don described. Don's house felt like a home away from home. We even got special attention from his cat. Dons house is quite close to a lot of the local attractions and a 15min drive to town. Dons house was spacious and quiet and we had our own private space. I would highly recommend Dons house to anyone wanting to stay at Lake Taupo.
