We arrived on Friday evening and were welcomed by Murray, who showed us around the studio and gave recommendations for the weekend ahead. He even offered a bowl of pumpkin soup when we told him of our difficulty finding a bite to eat in Taupō!
The studio was immaculate, and fully equipped with everything that we needed for a cosy winter weekend away. Jos and Murray had stocked up the cupboards and fridge with breakfast goodies, and had baked fresh cookies for us to enjoy. The shower was hot and powerful, the bed was super comfortable, and we were provided with fluffy bathrobes to wrap up warm in. The thoughtful touches made us feel as though we were in a 5* hotel suite (complete with Nespresso machine and pods!).
We would love to return in the summer months to make use of the kayaks and have a dip in the lake (just steps away from the studio). If you are looking for somewhere to relax, within easy reach of amenities in Taupō, do not hesitate to book with Jos and Murray.
