What a lovely stay we had at Mandy and Jared's! An idyllic little setting surrounded by loads of fauna, a crystal clear stream, and the sweetest cat ever! Far enough out of Taupo central to give you a feeling of seclusion, but close enough that you aren't ages away from conveniences. Our accommodation was spotless, well appointed and had a modern, homey feel, along with everything that we needed. The welcome and hospitality we received was far more than we expected. Highly recommend this spot, it's a little hidden gem!
