I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Jacqui is warm, welcoming and just a deeply interesting person with an infectious enthusiasm for her town.
Really thoughtful touches like the bedside water, heated towel rails and fluffy bathrobes made it really feel like home. It was just a one night stopover for us but we had a wonderful breakfast and amazing coffee that morning as well as great conversation. We left wishing we'd stayed for longer to get to know Jacqui and see Taupo through a locals eye!
