Kazumi and Ray are wonderful, welcoming hosts. They have lots of good suggestions for things to do around Taupo.
Their appartment is located in a great spot, within walking distance to downtown where there are plenty of restaurants. There's also takeout nearby. The beach is just around the corner, with spectacular views of the sunset over lake Taupo.
The appartment is very well equipped and is lovely and cozy. It was perfect for a couple visiting New Zealand.
