Our family of three (mum, dad and two-year-old daughter) had a really lovely two-night stay with Linda and Doug. Their home and guest spaces are exactly as described - comfortable, clean and very quiet - and their garden is simply stunning. Linda and Doug made us feel welcome from our very first e-mail communication and we really enjoyed chatting to them throughout our stay, sharing stories of family life and traveling experiences. We particularly appreciated the little things they did for us during our stay - toys left out for our daughter to play with, lending us a back-pack for a day-trip on the train into Wellington and lending us a high-chair at meal times. Thanks guys for making our first airbnb guest experience a fantastic one. We sincerely hope to see you up in Taupo some time in the near future and absolutely recommend your home to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
