I truly felt lucky that I was able to stay with Bee & Graeme. Bee is quite possibly the sweetest human I have ever met, she greeted me with the biggest hug. & Graeme is hilarious & someone who will talk & give you tips & history on every aspect of New Zealand. I was having a pretty horrible start to my trip before I arrived in Taupo & Bee & Graeme turned everything around. I spent hours talking to them & laughing with them, they provided me with a lot of comfort being so far from home (USA) & traveling alone for the first time. I would recommend their home to anyone (I already have, actually) & I would certainly stay with them again, everyday if I could!!!
