We had a lovely time in Taupo, and there were some really great things about this house - the log burner was super cosy, the beds were very comfortable, and there are beautiful glimpses of mountains from the windows and deck! We also had a few little issues though, some things that maybe needed fixing - nothing major but just not perfect, stopped it from feeling like a home from home, as some air bnbs do. We also found it a bit stressful to figure out what to do with our rubbish and recycling when we left: packing it into our already full car wasn't ideal (especially as it included food waste) and I did wonder if rubbish disposal should be included in the cleaning fee which you are charged when you book!
