Barb and Michael are such a nice host, they made us feel at home when we were there. They are very accommodating and helpful accepting our large group of people.

We were suppose to go to mount ruapehu from there but unfortunately the mountain was closed due to bad weather. Thanks to their suggestion we rearrange the trip to the national trout centre and army museum which proven to be great place to visit.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their house if you're planning to visit Taupo.
