Jane and Zoey are fantastic hosts! The suite is stylish and spacious, lovely personal touches, great stock for breakfast/snacks, endless guides for activities in the area, and Jane is a wealth of knowledge. Very friendly and offered up great activities! Close to taupo but not in the fuss of tourists, can walk down to the lakeside in the morning to relax and drink coffee.
Hiking, biking, boating, falls, thermal spas, bungy, etc. all at your fingertips. I will be recommending to anyone I know visiting the north island!
