Deirdrei and Richard’s place is a stand-alone, converted garage at the side of the main house. It was lovely and clean, well-appointed and comfortable. Dierdrei introduced herself, showed us around her garden and introduced us to the chickens but otherwise left us to be independent- she was a quick message away. The cottage is a short drive or walk from the lake and CBD of Taupo. We will look to stay at Deirdrei and Richard’s place on future trips to Taupo.
