Sheryll and David are wonderful hosts. They welcomed me into their home as if I was family, and I really felt like a close family member while I was there. The house is lovely and modern, the room cozy and the location magnificent. Such an easy, quick walk to town and the lakefront. I made use of the bikes and cycled (on a very hot day) to Craters of the Moon and the Aratiatia Dam, which was a nice experience. Taupo is a great town for cycling!
