We had an amazing time in Taupo. Kevin and Raewyn are absolutely wonderful people and hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room was very clean, breakfast delicious (they have their own chickens and free range eggs!), their company was great, location was perfect. In addition we share the same love for traveling, hiking and photography! They really provide full service, from offering their house to planning our stay in Taupo. They recommended us what to see, told us what to expect and invited to come back. Kevin even offered to take me to Alpine crossing next time if we come to Taupo in future. And I will take him up on this offer! I am sure that to hike Alpine crossing with him would be better than to do it with the company or on your own! Needless to say that staying with local people is a lot better than to stay in hotel. You really get to feel how people live here and see inside their life and learn about the place a lot more. And this is why we all love to travel.
