You won't be disappointed! My family and I were very settled and comfortable straight away. It was like we were home or at a family house. Karen is very welcoming, kind, respectful and thoughtful. It was more than we expected staying at Karen's place. We'll definitely be back to stay again without a second thought. Location is close to everything, neighborhood is peaceful with a beautiful view of lake Taupo, at night time it's absolutely stunning. Thank you for opening up your home to our little family Karen. Great host!!!!
