Marilyn welcomed us when we arrived, and gave us a helpful tour of the house. She also gave us some tips on things to do in the Taupo area.
The house is very comfortable, with nice spacious bedrooms and a great kitchen and living area. It feels like a proper home, rather than a basic holiday house.
We stayed at Marilyn's place with our 9 month old baby. It was perfect for her - lots of space in which to crawl and quiet and secluded enough for her to get a good sleep (very important for new parents!). A high chair and port-a-cot were available for use.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's great base for exploring and perfect for families.
